To Set the Global Clock Tempo

If the Global Tempo Clock Source parameter is set to Int, this parameter sets the tempo of
the MR-Rack's internal clock.
1. Press System.
2. Turn the Parameter knob until the display shows "System Tempo=."
3. The System Tempo parameter can be set to any tempo from 25 bpm (beats per minute)
to 250 bpm.
4. Turn the Value knob to set System Tempo to the tempo that you want to use.
Note: If the Global Tempo Clock Source is set to MIDI, this display will show
"MIDIbpm" as its value, and cannot be changed.

Sounds are programmed with their own optimal Part settings built-in, and when you choose
a Sound, those settings are applied to the currently selected Part. The following Part
parameters may be reset when you select a new Sound on a Part: FX Bus (see C h a pter 5 for
details), Pitch Bend Up, Pitch Bend Down, Octave Tuning, Coarse Tuning, Fine Tuning,
PtchTbl, Glide Mode, Glide Time, Delay Time, SyncLFO&Noise, Normal LFO Rates, LFO
Depth, LFO Delay Time, Amp Env Attack, Amp Env Decay, Amp Env Release, Filter Cutoff,
Filt Env Attack, Filt Env Decay, Filt Env Release and Amp&FiltEnv Vel.
You might prefer to choose new Sounds without losing your current Part settings. You can
use the Part Param Reset System parameter to determine whether or not these Part
parameter settings will be retained when you select a new Sound. This parameter affects
Sound selection from the MR-Rack's front panel, as well as Sound selection through the
reception of MIDI Program Changes.
The Part Param Reset System parameter also affects the response of Parts to a Reset All
Controllers MIDI message. When the ResetControlRecv System parameter—described later
in this chapter—is set to On, a number of Part parameters are reset to default values when
the MR-Rack receives a Reset All Controllers message. (See "Receiving Reset All Controllers
MIDI Messages" later in this chapter.) Setting the Part Param Reset to Off will protect the
settings of the Part parameters listed above from Reset All Controllers MIDI messages.

To Protect Part Parameter Settings When New Sounds are Selected

1. Press System.
2. Turn the Parameter knob until the display shows "Part Param Reset=."
The Part Param Reset parameter may be set to:
• On—Part parameters will be reset when new Sounds are selected for a Part or
Reset All Controllers MIDI messages are received
• Off—Part parameters will not be reset when new Sounds are selected for a Part, or
when Reset All Controllers MIDI messages are received
3. Use the Value knob to set Part Param Reset to Off.
