Sequential
4. Clock Port: MID, USB—Sets the ports, MIDI or USB, by which MIDI
clock signals are received.
5. Param Xmit: O, CC, NR, CAS, nAS—Changes to the values of front
panel controls are transmitted via MIDI as Continuous Controllers (CC) or
Non-registered Parameter Number (NR). Transmission of parameters can
also be turned off. You could, for example, turn the lter cutoff frequence
knob on the Trigon-6 and have it affect the cutoff frequency of another
synthesizer. CAS allows the transmission of MIDI Out for the Arp/Sequencer
in addition to Continuous Controllers. nAS allows the transmission of MIDI
Out for Arp/Sequencer in addition to NRPNs. For a list of Trigon-6 CCs and
NRPNs, see the MIDI Implementation document.
NRPNs are the preferred method of parameter transmission, since they cover
the complete range of all parameters, while CCs are limited to a range of 128.
6. Param Rcv: O, CC, NR—Sets the method by which parameter changes are
received via MIDI. As with transmission, NRPNs are the preferred method.
7. MIDI Control: O, On—When On, the synth will respond to MIDI
controllers, including Pitch Wheel, Mod Wheel, Pedal, Volume.
8. MIDI Sysex: MID, USB— When set to MIDI (MID) it will receive and
transmit them using the MIDI ports/cables When set to USB it will
receive and transmit them using the USB port/cable. MIDI SysEx is used
when sending and receiving a variety of data including programs, OS
updates, and more.
9. MIDI Out: MID, USB, PLY—Sets the port by which MIDI data will be
transmitted (MIDI or USB). Selecting PlY allows for the linking of two
Trigon-6’s to increase polyphony to twelve voices. See page 8 for more
info.

0. Local Control: O, On—When on (the default), the keyboard and
front panel controls directly affect the Trigon-6. When off, the controls
are transmitted via MIDI but do not directly affect the “local” synth (that
is, the Trigon-6). This is primarily useful for avoiding MIDI data loops
that can occur with some external sequencers.
