Operating an external MIDI sequencer

This unit outputs the operation information of buttons and controls in universal MIDI

format.

This unit sends the tempo of the currently playing source (BPM information) as the

MIDI timing clock. This can be used to synchronize an external MIDI sequencer with

the tempo of the source.

For the messages output by this unit, see MIDI assignment map on page 22.

External MIDI sequencers not supporting MIDI timing clocks cannot be

synchronized.

External MIDI sequencers cannot be synchronized for sources for which the

BPM cannot be measured stably.

The MIDI timing clock is output even with BPM values input manually by tapping

the [TAP] button with a finger. The MIDI timing clock output range is 40 BPM to

250 BPM.

1 Connect the [MIDI OUT] terminal to the external MIDI

sequencer’s MIDI IN terminal using a commercially available

MIDI cable.

2 Set the external MIDI sequencer’s sync mode to Slave.

3 Press the [START/STOP] button for [MIDI].

The MIDI start message is sent.

4 Press [ON/OFF] in the [MIDI] section.

Transmission of the MIDI messages begin.
