MIDI CONTROL Page
Internal/External Control
1 LEAD
Determines Internal or External control of the Lead Voices. When
set to Internal, Lead Voices are played from the Electone and the
sounds from a connected MIDI instrument can be played via MIDI
channel 1 (or channel 2, when the To Lower function is on). When
set to External, the Lead Voices can only be played from the connected
instrument via MIDI channel 4.
2 SYNC.
Determines the source of the timing control, for rhythm
synchronization purposes. Setting this to Internal gives the Electone
timing control over the connected rhythm machine. This also allows
you to start and stop the rhythms of the connected rhythm machine
from the Electoneﾕs panel controls. Setting this to External gives
timing control to the connected rhythm machine.
3 EXP.
Determines the control of the expression pedal functions. Ordinarily,
this control is set to Auto. However, when it is set to INT., you can
manually control the expression pedal functions during M.D.R.
playback. When set to EXT., another (external) Electone controls
over the expression pedal functions.
L.I.T. (Lead Initial Touch) Control
At the right side of the MIDI page, there is the L.I.T. control.
L.I.T. 1:
When descending notes are played in legato with the monophonic
lead voices, the last note played has the same initial touch response
as the previous note.
L.I.T. 2:
Default setting. When descending notes are played in legato with the
monophonic lead voices, the last note played sounds according to
the velocity at which it is played.
