TS-10 Musician’s Manual Section 3 — MIDI Control Page Parameters
5
Working with MIDI Loops
With a MIDI loop setup, the MIDI Out of the TS-10 is either directly or indirectly (through an
external device such as a computer) connected to the MIDI In of the TS-10. The MIDI-LOOP
Track STATUS is optimized for use in a MIDI loop in which the TS-10 will play back into itself.
Do not use the SEND/RECV Track STATUS setting with a MIDI loop present. To connect a TS-10
track to a computer sequencer, the MIDI-LOOP setting should be used. In this type of setup, a
computer in MIDI Thru mode forms a loop which echoes the MIDI information back into the TS-
10. See Section 5 — Preset/Track Parameters for more information about the Track MIDI STATUS
parameter. See Section 10 — Understanding the Sequencer for information on recording into the TS-
10 sequencer in a MIDI loop.
Using Presets with MIDI Loops
Tip: For best results, set SEND=BASE and MODE=POLY on the MIDI Control page. Be aware that
when you select a new preset, program changes with the preset’s number are transmitted via
MIDI; Program changes are not transmitted from the individual tracks in the preset. Receiving
from MIDI while on a Preset bank page or Preset Track parameter page will minimize problems.
CNTRLS — Controllers Range: OFF or ON
This switch controls whether or not the TS-10 will transmit and receive MIDI controllers — pitch
bend, mod wheel, pressure, volume, sustain pedal, etc.
SONG-SEL — Song Select Range: OFF or ON
This determines whether the TS-10 will send and receive MIDI Song Select messages.
• OFF — The TS-10 will not transmit MIDI Song Select messages, and will ignore incoming Song
Select messages received via MIDI.
• ON — Incoming Song Selects will select the corresponding TS-10 sequencer location.
Incoming MIDI Song Selects # 00-59 will select TS-10 Sequencer locations # 00-59. Selecting
Sequencer locations # 00-59 will always cause the TS-10 to transmit MIDI Song selects # 00-59.
ALL-OFF Range: OFF or ON
The All Notes Off message enable switch controls how the system will react to MIDI All Notes
Off messages received on any MIDI channel.
• OFF — The TS-10 will ignore any All Notes Off messages that are received.
• ON — The TS-10 will shut down all currently sounding internal voices unless the MODE
parameter is set to OMNI, in which case the message is ignored.
START/STOP Range: OFF or ON
This parameter determines whether pressing the Play and Stop/Continue buttons will transmit
MIDI Start, Stop and Continue messages from the TS-10 MIDI Out port. The TS-10 will always
receive Play Stop, and Continue messages via MIDI, regardless of the setting of this parameter, if
CLOCK=MIDI on the Sequencer Control page. Some older drum machines have no way of
disabling reception of these messages, and will always start playing their internal patterns when
they receive a Start message. Set this parameter to OFF when you want to use such a drum
machine simply as a voice module, played from a TS-10 sequencer track, without starting its
internal sequencer playing each time you press the Play button on the TS-10.
• ON — When you press the Play or Stop/Continue buttons to start, stop or continue the TS-10
sequencer, a corresponding MIDI Start, Stop or Continue message will be sent.
• OFF — When you press the Play or Stop/Continue buttons to start, stop or continue the TS-10
sequencer, a MIDI Start, Stop or Continue message will not be sent.
