Roland EM-30 - MIDI Synchronization and Filtering Continued; MIDI Synchronization Modes; MIDI Clock and Part Mute Settings; Local Control and Resume

Clock Tx
This option allows you to determine whether or not
the Arranger and Recorder send MIDI Clock messages
when you start them. These messages are necessary
for synchronizing external MIDI instruments/
seguencers/software to the EM-50/30.
Possible settings: Off, On. Default: On.
StrStpTx (Start/Stop/Continue)
(On/Off, Default: On) This option allows you to
determine whether or not the Arranger and Recorder
send Start/Stop/Continue messages when you start or
stop them. Select “Off” when you wish to control the
tone generator of a MIDI organ, etc., without starting
its automatic accompaniment every time you start
Arranger or Recorder playback on the EM-50/30.
Song Pos P (Song Position Pointer)
(On/Off, Default: On) The EM-50/30's Recorder also
sends Song Position Pointer messages. Select Off if
you don't want the Recorder to send these messages.
PartMute
(Int/All, Default: All) The Part Mute parameter allows
you determine what happens when you mute a part
(see page 24). One thing you know will happen is that
the part in guestion no longer sounds when you play
on the keyboard. What you do not see, however, ìs
whether a muted part still sends MIDI data. Part Mute
allows you to specify whether or not a muted part
should go on sending MIDI messages to MIDI OUT:
Int—A muted part can no longer be played via the
EM-50/30's keyboard or Recorder but continues to
send MIDI messages to the MIDI OUTput.
All—A muted part can no longer be played via the
EM-50/30's keyboard or Recorder and no longer
sends MIDI messages.
Default: All.
EM-50/30
Local
(On/Off, Default: On) The Local parameter allows
you to establish or remove the connection between
the EM-50/30's keyboard/Recorder and the internal
tone generator.
When set to On (factory setting), playing on the
EM-50/30's keyboard or playing back a Recorder song
will cause the corresponding notes to sound. If you
select Off, the corresponding MIDI messages are no
longer sent to the internal tone generator. Local does-
n't, however, interfere with the transmission of the
corresponding MIDI data to the MIDI OUTput.
Sound source Hi
Setting Local to Off, on the other hand, means that
neither the keyboard nor the Recorder control the
internal tone generator,
Sound source E
When working with a sequencer equipped with a Soft
Thru (MIDI echo) function — and only if (i) you con-
nect the EM-50/30's MIDI IN and OUT connectors to
the external seguencer or computer, and (ii) use the
EM-50/30 as MIDI master keyboard for seguencing —
you may have to set this parameter to Off to keep the
notes from sounding twice (producing an unpleasant
sound called MIDI loop). In all other cases, select On.
Note: The setting of this parameter is not memorized
when you switch the EM-50/30 off.
Resume
Select this function to recall the EM-50/30's factory
MIDI settings (both for the Style and the Recorder
modes). Press [ENTER]. After showing the “Com-
plete” message, the display returns to the RESUME
message. Press [CANCEL] to leave the MIDI mode.
