ALESIS HR-16:B - Manual (Page 24)

The +/- arrows and the SELECT slider can be used to select a new tempo or a
tempo can be entered directly with three digits on the keypad. Tempo changes are
effective as soon as they are entered, and the RECORD button does not have to be
pressed.
In SONG mode, the tempo Is displayed as a relative amount of change from the pre­
programmed song tempo. The display reads:
SONG TEMPO 100%
TEMPO = 120
The current tempo (the one most recently recalled within a song) will be
displayed in the lower display, and the upper display shows the percentage of
programmed tempos to be used. The keypad can be used to enter a three-digit
number, or the +/- arrow buttons can be used to increment or decrement the
atnount. The range of the shift Is 50% (half tempo) to 200% (double tempo).
This change is shown as a percentage so that any tempo changes that occur in the
song will keep their time ratios constant.
MIDI / UTIL
The MIDI / UTIL button is used to access a number of miscellaneous functions that
usually do not need to be accessed very often. The functions are scrolled through
with the SELECT slider, with the display showing the current function, and each
function being numbered for easy reference. The keypad and +/- arrow buttons
are used to change the parameters. All of these parameters are global parameters,
e.g., they are set once for the entire machine and are not programmable for each
pattern or song. The pages are as follows:
MIDI CHANNEL
The first MIDI UTIL page is MIDI CHANNEL. The display looks like this:
01 SET MIDI
CHANNEL: Q1
The keypad and +/- buttons can be used to change the MIDI channel from 01 to 16.
This sets the MIDI channel that the HR-16 will transmit and receive on. If 00 is
selected, the display will read OMNI. In OMNI mode, the HR-16 will transmit on
channel 1, and will receive on all channels. The default is OMNI.
RECEIVE MIDI DRUMS
The RECEIVE MIDI DRUMS function Is used to determine whether or not incoming
MIDI notes from a sequencer, keyboard, or MIDI drum pad controller should
trigger the drums. The display looks like this:
