PARAMETER NAMES AND FUNCTIONS
BEND
VALUE
85 RCV CH (Receive Channel)
This determines which MIDI channel will be received
by the EX-800. There are 16 possible channels for
MIDI reception. When connected to a POLY-8OO,
selecting RCV CH-1 on the EX-800 will enable it to
receive and play the POLY-800’s keyboard data.
Selecting RCV CH-2 will allow the EX-800 to play the
POLY-800’s Sequencer note data. Selecting channels
3 thru 16 will allow the EX-800 to receive BOTH Key
board and Sequencer note data from the POLY-800.
The selected MIDI channel number is maintained
when power is turned off and on again.

SEQ CLK (Sequencer Clock)
This parameter determines whether EX-800 se
quencer timing will be controlled by its internal clock
or by an external unit via MIDI. This parameter’s
“default” value is ! (Internal clock) when the EX-800
is first turned on.

PROG CHANGE (Program Change)
A MIDI equipped synthesizer (such as the POLY-800),
remote keyboard, or personal computer can be used
to select different EX-800 programs. For example, if
connected to a POLY-800, both synthesizers can
change program numbers together. The best use of
this function is to arrange the programs on both synths
so that they match trie order in which desired pro
grams will be selected during performance.
To enable the external program select fur .ion, the
value of the PROG CHANGE parameter ( 85 ) must
be set to “1” (enabled).
The value of this parameter is reset to “0” (disabled)
when the EX-800’s power is initially turned on.

BEND
The EX-800 can respond to pitch bend data received
from a MIDI equipped remote keyboard or synth. For
example, if you use the joystick to bend up on the
PQLY-800, then the EX-800 pitch will also bend up.
However the amount that the pitch bends on the
EX-800 will depend on its BEND parameter value. At
8 there is no bend. This can be set to any value from
0 to S'-!. At the maximum value, pitch can change up
to perfect fifth (±700 cents).
