4: UTILITY FUNCTIONS
The REX50 UTILITY key provides access to a number
of important functions. Each press on the UTILITY key
advances to the next function until the UTILITY mode
is exited:
TITLE EDIT ^ MIDI CONTROL MIDI PROG
CHANGE ^ F.SW MEMORY RCL RANGE ^ exit
UTILITY mode.
TITLE EDIT
This function makes it possible to create original titles
for programs you edit and store in memory locations
31 through 90. The TITLE EDIT function is the first one
to appear when the UTILITY key is pressed. The "TI­
TLE EDIT" function name appears on the bottom line
of the LCD, and an underline cursor appears at the first
character position on the top line. The MEMORY and
STORE keys are used to move the cursor back and
forth, while the A and V keys are used to select a new
character for the current cursor position. Simply move
the cursor to each character position in turn, selecting
the appropriate characters at each position.
The available characters are as follows:

MIDI BANK & CHANNEL
ASSIGNMENT
The REX50 makes it possible to select specific pro­
grams via external MIDI control. You can set up the
REX50, for example, so that when you select a voice
on your synthesizer the most appropriate effect for that
Voice is automatically selected. This is accomplished
because each time you select a voice on your MIDI syn­
thesizer it transmits the corresponding MIDI PROGRAM
CHANGE NUMBER. The REX50 receives this PRO­
GRAM CHANGE NUMBER and selects the effect pro­
gram that you have assigned to it using the MIDI PROG
CHANGE function which will be described below. The
REX50 also accepts MIDI KEY ON EVENT messages
to trigger some of the gate effects, and MIDI KEY ON
NUMBERS to set the PITCH parameter of the PITCH
CHANGE A effect.
The REX50 actually can be programmed with four com­
pletely independent sets of MIDI PROGRAM CHANGE
NUMBER/MEMORY NUMBER assignments. Each of
these is contained in a different "bank": A, B, C or D.
Each BANK may also be programmed to receive on a
different MIDI channel. An example of the way the four
banks may be programmed with different receive chan­
nels and program number/memory number assignments
is given below:
■Receive channel
BANK: A

CH = 2
PGM 1 = MEM 1 PGM 1 = MEM 6
PGM 2 = MEM 4 PGM 2 = MEM 7
