5. The next display says:
MIDI also carries program (Preset) change information from one synthesizer to another. Press ON if
you want Emax to send and receive program changes, or OFF if you want to select Emax Presets
independently of other MIDI instruments. To jump back to the Module Identifier press ENTER,
otherwise press the right arrow cursor key to continue the setup.
Note: There is no specific standard between manufacturers regarding what program (“patch”) will
occur on “slave” synthesizers when a particular program is selected on the “master”
synthesizer. Some instruments number programs sequentially, while others arrange
programs in “banks” (e.g., A1, A2, A3, B1, B2, etc.).
6. The next display says:
When connected in a MIDI system, you may or may not want Emax to respond to “start and stop
sequence” commands from other instruments, preferring instead to start and stop sequences from the
Emax. Press ON if you want the Emax sequences to start and stop under control of another MIDI
instrument; press OFF if you want to start and stop sequences exclusively from Emax. To jump back
to the Module Identifier press ENTER, otherwise press the right arrow cursor button to continue the
setup.
7. Moving right along we see:
If you press ON (the default setting), the Emax keyboard controls the Emax sound generators and
sends out MIDI data about which keys are being played. Pressing OFF “disconnects” Emax from its
keyboard, but still sends out MIDI data about which notes are being played. To return to the Module
Identifier press ENTER, otherwise press the right arrow cursor button to continue the setup.
8. The next screen says:
Press ON if you want Emax to send and receive note and wheel MIDI data as well as MIDI clock
signals. Press OFF if you want Emax to send and receive MIDI clock signals but not note and wheel
signals. To return to the Module Identifier press ENTER, otherwise press the right arrow cursor button
to continue the setup.
