Mode
Parameter Value
Mode Internal, Auto, MIDI, Remote
Internal: Song or style playback uses E-A7 internal tempo.
Auto: A good setting for remote control of song or
style playback
(using a PK-series dynamic MIDI pedal board, for example). If the E-A7
receives a MIDI Start message (FA), it waits for Clock messages that
specify the tempo. If those Clock messages are not received, the E-A7
starts playback using its internal tempo. If, however, Clock messages
(F8) follow after the Start message, the E-A7 uses the external tempo.
MIDI: Song or
style playback can be started or stopped with MIDI
real-time messages (Start, Stop, Clock) received from an external
clock source.
Remote: Song or
style playback waits for a start message to start
playback at its own tempo. When it receives a stop message,
playback stops. External clock messages are ignored.
Basic
The following parameters are located on the display page that
can be selected using [MENU]
0
“MIDI”
0
“Edit System”
0
“Basic.”
The Basic channel is used to receive and transmit Program Change
and Bank Select messages for selecting Performances, as well as for
the reception and transmission of other kinds of messages that are
not directly related to a specic MIDI channel.
NOTE
If you select another channel, messages intended for the Basic
parameters might also cause other parameters to change when
you don’t want them to.
The following parameters are available here:
Tx
Switches the transmission of MIDI messages on the Basic channel on
or o.
Parameter Value
Tx O, On
Tx Channel
The channel used to transmit MIDI messages.
Parameter Value
Tx Channel 1–16
Performance PC Tx
This parameter is used to enable or disable the transmission of
program change and bank select messages related to Performance
selection.
Parameter Value
Performance
PC Tx
O, On
Part Switch Tx
Whenever you mute or un-mute a part on the “Style Parts” page,
the E-A7 transmits an NRPN message that describes your action. Not
sending this message may be useful to keep your external sequencer
from recording it—or the receiving GS module from muting the part
assigned to that MIDI channel.
Parameter Value
Part Switch Tx O, On
Rx
Switches the reception of MIDI messages on the Basic channel on or
o.
Parameter Value
Rx O, On
