Reference [MIDI]
This section explains the MIDI-related settings and functions of the MRS-8.
About MIDI
MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a standard
that allows messages such as play data and sound data
(collectively called “MIDI messages”) to be exchanged
between devices including electronic musical
instruments and computers.
The MRS-8 is equipped with a MIDI OUT connector that
can send internally generated MIDI messages to other
MIDI compatible devices. This can be used to supply
rhythm pattern playing information and synchronization
information.
What you can do using MIDI
On the MRS-8, you can use MIDI for the following
functions.
Send play information
You can send Note On/Off messages from the MRS-8
when hitting the pads or when playing a rhythm song/
rhythm pattern. These can be used to play an external
MIDI sound source connected to the MIDI OUT
connector.
Send sync information
The MRS-8 can supply clock information based on
internal tempo (Timing Clock) or absolute time
information in hours/minutes/seconds/frames (MIDI
Time Code) to an external MIDI device, for
synchronization of transport operations.
Send control change information
The MRS-8 can supply Control Change messages
according to drum/bass sequence information
programmed in a rhythm pattern or rhythm song.
