Section 3 — MIDI Control Page Parameters

These parameters set instrument wide MIDI parameters, such as the Base Channel number and

MIDI Reception mode, and control what types of MIDI messages are received and transmitted.

The settings of these parameters will remain in effect at all times and are preserved while the

power is off. The MIDI Control Page has three sub-pages. This section also offers an

introduction and overview of General MIDI, and explains how to use it with the TS-10.

Whether you are simply linking two keyboards together, playing a synth from a guitar controller,

or driving a rack of samplers from the TS-10, MIDI makes it all possible.

• Press the MIDI Control button. This takes you to the top level MIDI Control page:

BASE-CHAN Range: 01 to 16

Selects the Base Channel on which the TS-10 transmits and receives MIDI messages. System

Exclusive messages are always sent and received on the base channel.

Any of 16 MIDI channels may be selected as the basic MIDI channel of the TS-10. The effect of

setting the base channel varies depending on the MIDI Mode and whether data is being sent or

received.

Transmit If SEND=BASE, then the TS-10 only transmits keys, controllers, and program

changes on the base channel. If SEND=TRACK, then keys, controllers, and program

changes are transmitted on the channel defined in the preset or sequencer track.

Receive In Poly mode — keys, controllers, and program changes are only recognized if

received on the base channel. In Mono A mode, program changes are received only

on the base channel. The base channel is also used in both Mono modes as the first

channel of the 12 channel range.

GMIDI Range: OFF or ON

This is used to enter General MIDI mode. The TS-10 completely conforms to the full General

MIDI Specification. This allows you to play back any General MIDI-based sequence via incoming

MIDI and always get predictable results. The General MIDI Sounds in ROM (listed later) are also

provided on the in-box disk (TSD-300) that came with your TS-10.

For a complete description of this mode, see Section 12 — Sequencing/MIDI Applications.

SEND Range: BASE or TRACK

Controls the MIDI channel on which the TS-10 will transmit performance information such as key

and controller events, as well as program changes.

• BASE — The TS-10 will transmit only on the Base Channel, and will ignore the channel

assignments contained in the tracks. When Presets are selected, they will transmit the MIDI

Program Change for the Preset, and not the Program Change values for the three Tracks.

• TRACK — The settings on the Track MIDI page determine the MIDI transmission channel.

The TS-10 will transmit on the channel(s) assigned to the track(s) being played, either from the

keyboard or the sequencer, depending on the Track MIDI Status (i.e. nothing will be sent if a

track is assigned to the - - - - /RECV or MIDI-OFF status). Each track can have its own MIDI

channel.
