A-37
9
Your A-37 comes with a great many MIDI parameters, or message types that can be transmitted so as to control your MIDI
rig to your liking. Most of the following parameters can be set for the Upper and Lower sections independently – and most
of them can be saved to a Patch memory (see p. 16).
Note: The available EDIT parameters will be presented
in the order they can be selected. See page 11 if all you
want to do for the time is being is assign different MIDI
channels to the Upper and/or Lower sections.
5.1 Selecting the parameter to be
edited
The A-37’s Edit parameters can be accessed via three
buttons:
When none of the above buttons lights, you are in
“play mode” (i.e. where you cannot change the
above parameters). That also means that the
numeric keypad ([A/B], [1]~[8]) can be used for
selecting Patch memories.
After pressing [CONTROL], [DATA], or [PRG≈CHG],
however, the buttons [0] (A/B) [1]~[8] and [9]
(TRANSPOSE) allow you to select the desired param-
eter. These numbers appear below the buttons and
are printed in orange (just like the EDIT button leg-
ends). See the illustration at the top of this page.
Here is how to select the desired parameter:
(1) Look at the legends above the [0]~[9] buttons to find
out which EDIT button you need to press.
(2) Press [CONTROL], [DATA], or [PRG≈CHG], depending
on the row that contains the desired parameter.
The number of the first parameter now flashes in
the display.
(3) Use the [0]~[9] buttons or [DOWN]/[UP] to select a
parameter.
After about three seconds, the display shows the
value currently set for the selected parameter.
(4) Press [LOWER] or [UPPER] to select the keyboard
section whose settings you wish to change.
Note: It is now no longer possible to select a different
KEYBOARD MODE. You need to leave the EDIT mode
altogether before being able to do that.
(5) Use [0]~[9] or [DOWN]/[UP] to make the desired set-
ting.
Some parameters can be set to 0FF. To do so, simul-
taneously press [UP] and [DOWN].
(6) Press [ENTER] to confirm the value or setting.
Press [EXIT] to return to the previous value.
(7) Press [EXIT] if you want to select another parameter
from the active EDIT group.

MIDI parameters: transmit channel, volume,
etc., but also the Dump function.
