Section 12 — Sequencing/MIDI Applications TS-10 Musician’s Manual

Song Position Pointers

The TS-10 transmits and receives Song Position Pointers via MIDI. Song Position Pointers are

MIDI commands that tell a sequencer or drum machine where to locate within a song or

sequence.

When the TS-10 receives a Song Position Pointer, it will locate to the appropriate place in the

selected song or sequence.

The TS-10 sends a Song Position Pointer over MIDI whenever you use the Auto-Locate control

(the GOTO function on the Locate Page). Any receiving unit which recognizes Song Position

Pointers will locate to the same spot.

Not all remote MIDI devices recognize Song Position Pointers. Consult the manual of any other

sequencing device you are using, to see if it does.

MIDI Song Selects

MIDI Song Selects allow a sequencer such as the TS-10 to instruct a remote MIDI sequencer or

drum machine to select a new song whenever you select a Sequence or Song on the TS-10.

Whether or not the TS-10 sends or receives Song Selects depends on the setting of the SONG-SEL

parameter on the MIDI Control sub-page.

The TS-10 transmits and receives MIDI Song Selects in Sequence Mode as well as Song Mode

(depending again on the setting on the SONG-SEL parameter). This allows you to select any TS-

10 sequencer location from a remote sequencer, computer or drum machine, and vice versa.

They are set up as follows:

• MIDI Song Selects # 00-59 will select TS-10 Sequencer locations # 00-59.

• Selecting Sequencer locations # 00-59 will cause the TS-10 to send MIDI Song Selects # 00-59

MIDI Controller Tricks — Creating MIDI Track Templates

There are some subtle features of the TS-10 sequencer which enhance its capabilities as a MIDI

controller. You can change the sound and mix of every instrument in your rig with the push of a

button, and create giant presets with as many as 12 remote MIDI devices split and/or layered.

Each sequence you create and store in the TS-10’s sequencer memory contains up to 12 sets of

Sound and Mixing information, each of which will be sent out on the designated MIDI Channel

when you select that sequence. Each sequence also remembers all Performance/Track

Parameters settings for each track, as well as which tracks are selected or layered.

If you have the TS-10 connected to other instruments via MIDI, try this:

• Press Seqs/Songs, and select a -BLANK- location to create a new sequence. Name this

sequence MIDI-OUT-1, or something similar, to indicate that it is specially set up as a MIDI

controller template.

• Press the Seq/Song Tracks 1-6 button, and select the first track.

• Press Track MIDI, and set the track’s STATUS to SEND/RECV; on the second sub-page set

the CHANNEL to the MIDI channel of one of your remote MIDI instruments; on the third sub-

page, select a program for the instrument.

• Press Seq/Song Tracks 1-6, select another UNDEFINED track, and repeat the above steps,

setting this track up to drive a different instrument. And so on, until you have one track

playing each external instrument. Create a couple of MIDI-OFF tracks with different

programs, too. Selecting one of them will let you play the TS-10 only. Selecting any of the

MIDI tracks will let you play the receiving instrument that is set to the same MIDI channel as

that track.
