(rhythm song) even if you are not using the rhythm track.
Timing Clock will be transmitted even if the drum and/or
bass tracks are muted (DRUM/BASS status keys dark).
• When using MIDI Timing Clock messages transmitted
from the MRS-1044 to synchronize the operation of an
exter nal MIDI device, you should also tur n on
transmission for Song Position Pointer and
Start/Stop/Continue messages as well as Timing Clock.
• When transmitting Timing Clock from the MRS-1044, we
recommend that you turn the drum/bass MIDI channels
OFF. Synchronization may become unstable if MIDI
messages other than timing clock are also being
transmitted.
You can specify whether Song Position Pointer messages
will be transmitted. Song Position Pointer is a MIDI
message that indicates the current measure position.
Normally it is used in conjunction with Timing Clock.
When the display indicates "SPP," turn the dial to select
one of the following settings.
• ON (transmission on): MIDI Song Position Pointer
messages will be transmitted when a Locate operation is
performed on the MRS-1044 (default setting).
• OFF (transmission off): Song Position Pointer messages
will not be transmitted.
You can specify whether Start/Stop/Continue messages
will be transmitted. Start/Stop/Continue are MIDI
messages that control the transport of a device, causing it
to "run" or "stop." Normally these messages are used in
conjunction with Timing Clock. When the display indicates
"COMMAND," turn the dial to select one of the following
settings.
• ON (transmission on): The appropriate Start/
Stop/Continue message will be transmitted when the
MRS-1044 stops or begins running (default setting).
• OFF (transmission off): Start/Stop/Continue messages
will not be transmitted.
