Also, when you play back a rhythm pattern or rhythm song

on the MRS-1608, the drum/bass track playing information

will be transmitted as Note On/Off messages.

Turning Timing Clock messages on

or off

This setting speciﬁes whether the MIDI synchronization

message Timing Clock will be transmitted.

Refer to steps 1 – 4 of “Basic procedure” to bring up the

indication “MIDI CLOCK” on the display and press the

[ENTER] key. Then turn the dial to select one of the

following settings.

●

ON (Transmission on)

Timing Clock information will be transmitted when the

MRS-1608 is running (default setting).

●

OFF (Transmission off)

Timing Clock information will not be transmitted.

Timing Clock will be output according to the tempo of the

rhythm pattern/rhythm song that is playing. In order for the

external MIDI device to play back in synchronization at an

appropriate tempo, you will need to specify the tempo of the

rhythm pattern/rhythm song. Also, to synchronize the

measure indication at the MRS-1608 and the MIDI device,

the time signature of the rhythm pattern/rhythm song must

be set.

NOTE

Timing Clock information will be transmitted even if the drum/

bass tracks are muted ([DRUM]/[BASS] status keys are out).

• When using MIDI Timing Clock messages transmitted from

the MRS-1608 to synchronize the operation of an external

MIDI device, you should also turn on transmission for Song

Position Pointer and Start/Stop/Continue messages as well

as Timing Clock.

• When transmitting Timing Clock from the MRS-1608, it is

recommended to turn the drum kit/bass program MIDI

channels OFF. Synchronization may become unstable if MIDI

Timing Clock and other MIDI messages are being transmitted

simultaneously.

Turning Song Position Pointer

messages on or off

You can specify whether Song Position Pointer messages

will be transmitted. Song Position Pointer is a MIDI

message that indicates the current position as a beat count

from the start. Normally it is used in conjunction with

Timing Clock.

Refer to steps 1 – 4 of “Basic procedure” to bring up the

indication “MIDI SPP” on the display and press the

[ENTER] key. Then turn the dial to select one of the

following settings.

●

ON (Transmission on)

MIDI Song Position Pointer messages will be transmitted

when a locate operation is performed on the MRS-1608

(default setting).

●

OFF (Transmission off)

Song Position Pointer messages will not be transmitted.

Turning Start/Stop/Continue

messages on or off

You can specify whether Start/Stop/Continue messages will

be transmitted. Start/Stop/Continue are MIDI messages that

control the transport of a device, causing it to run or stop.

Normally these messages are used in conjunction with

Timing Clock.

Refer to steps 1 – 4 of “Basic procedure” to bring up the

indication “MIDI COMMAND” on the display and press the

[ENTER] key. Then turn the dial to select one of the

following settings.

●

ON (Transmission on)

The appropriate Start/Stop/Continue message will be

transmitted when the MRS-1608 stops or begins running

(default setting).

●
