Controlling another MIDI instrument via MIDI THRU
If you have more synthesizers and tone generators than MIDI ports, you can use the MIDI THRU jack to connect and control
additional devices. Here, the playback data of a MIDI sequencer is used to play the sounds of another MIDI instrument
(connected to the MIDI THRU connector) as well as the MO. The MIDI THRU connector simply redirects any received MIDI
data (via MIDI IN) to connected instrument.
In this case, make sure that the MO is set to the Song mode or Pattern mode. If the instrument is set to the Voice mode or to
a Performance mode setting in which multi-channel MIDI messages are not recognized, the external sequence data
(containing multi-channel data) will not play back properly on the MO. In addition, you may have to make certain MIDI
synchronization settings (see below). Likewise, make sure to set the MIDI tone generator (connected to the MIDI THRU
connector) to the multi-timbral mode.
In addition, you need to set the MIDI synchronization related parameters of the MO to enable external clock from the
following display.
Connecting to an MTR (Multi Track Recorder)
Since this synthesizer can receive the MTC (MIDI Time Code) and can transmit the MMC (MIDI Machine Control), you can
produce music by synchronizing to a MTC- or MMC-compatible multi-track.
You can use two types of MTR control (illustrated below) by setting the MIDI Sync to MTC in the Utility mode, with the
following operation.
n MTC and MMC are available only in the Song mode.
Synchronizing the MO to the MTC signal from an external MTR
After receiving the MTC signal transmitted from the MTR (when MTR playback is started), the selected Song of the MO will
start, once the MTC Start Offset time elapses (set from the display [UTILITY] [F5] MIDI [SF3] SYNC MTC StartOffset
in the Utility mode).
n MTC (MIDI Time Code) allows simultaneous synchronization of multiple audio devices via standard MIDI cables. It includes data corresponding to
hours, minutes, seconds, and frames. The MO does not transmit MTC. An instrument such as the Yamaha AW2400 is necessary as an MTC master.
[UTILITY] [F5] MIDI [SF3] SYNC MIDI Sync = MIDI
Splitting the sound between the MO and an external tone generator by MIDI channel (Part 2)
In this connection example shown above, you can split the sequence playback between the MO and another instrument connected to
MIDI THRU and have them sound different parts.
For example, on the MO assign the Song/Pattern parts to MIDI Receive Channels 1 through 9 with the following operation, and set the
rest of the parts (not to be sounded) to off.
On the connected MIDI tone generator, assign the parts to be sounded to MIDI Receive Channels 10 through 16, and set the rest of
the parts (not to be sounded) to off.
