manual abstract
MIDI Message Flow The R - 8M uses the following types of MIDI message. Each section has its own MIDI channel on which MIDI messages will be independently received. The receive channel of each section (cr see page 25, 35) receives mainly note message and control change message. In addition, the Instrument Section receives control change message to control the sound of up to 9 specified instruments. In this way, each section can be used as an independent sound source. In addition to the receive channel of each section, there is also a control channel (o- see page 55). The control channel receives program change message to select Patches or Feel Patches. You can use the program change map (cr see page 57) to specify which Feel Patch or Patch will be selected by each incoming program number. The control channel is also used for reception and transmission of exclusive message. 19 Ш BASIC OPERATION 1. Mode Structure The R - 8M operates in two modes; the Play mode, where you will normally perform, and the Edit mode, where you modify Patch and Feel Patch settings. The Edit mode is broadly divided into the following four modes according to the function of each parameter, and subdivided further into several groups. • Setup mode Memory protect Set the memory protect switch that protects the Patch and Feel Patch settings stored in internal memory. P.56 MIDI Makes MIDI settings that affect the entire R-8M. P.55 Program change map Specifies how incoming program numbers will select Patch or Feel Patch numbers. P.57 Stack Set this mode when you have connected two or more R-8M's to increase the number of simultaneously playable notes. P.58 • Patch Edit mode Patch name Specifies a name for a Patch. P.40 Instrument section Makes settings for the Instrument Section. P.25 Performance section Makes settings for the Performance Section. P.35 Patch write Uses the Write operation to store Patch settings. P.40 • Feel Edit mode Instrument assign Selects instruments and parameters for which you wish to modify using the Feel Patch. P.47 Regular Feel Specifies Regular Feel. P. 48 Random Feel Specifies Random Feel. P.50 Feel write Uses the Write operation to store Feel Patch settings. P.51 • Utility mode ROM play Playback of the ROM play songs. Р.Э LCD contrast Adjust the contrast of the display. P.65 Bulk dump Use this operation to transmit exclusive message to another MIDI device. P.63 RAM card Use these operations to save internal Patch or Feel Patch data to a RAM card. P.60 20 ©BASIC OPERATION 2. Basic Operation of the R-8M The Edit mode is organized in a branching structure by parameter groups, as shown in the following diagram. In the Edit mode, you will select a group from a menu display to move to the desired parameter display, and then modify the parameter.

In the Edit mode, each time you press |_EXITJ you will return to the previous menu display. Pressing | EXIT |several more times will return you to the Play mode. How to modify parameter values The various parameter setting displays will be as shown to the left. The upper line of the display will show the group selected in the menu displays. This lets you see which parameter group you are now working on.

When you press | V | the value will decrease, and when you press [a] the value will increase. If you continue pressing either button, the value will change continuously. If you press | A I (or | V |) while holding | V 1 (or | A I), the value will change more rapidly. • How to use NOTE# Normally the CURSOR I M || ► 1 buttons are used to select parameters.
