[. . . ] s Receive Clocks Only: Select whether the EIII should receive MIDI timing clocks, but not any other MIDI data. This is handy when you want to only clock from another device but not share notes and controllers information. s The EIII's sequencer can be synchronized to an external sequencer, with several benefits. First, you will augment the number of tracks in the external sequencer by the 16 tracks within the EIII. Second, using two sequencers can help reduce timing problems by splitting rhythmically-complex parts between the two sequencers. Third, tracks can be transferred from the EIII to the external sequencer, edited using the attributes of the sequencer (e. g. graphic notation), then transferred back into the EIII. 7-20 MIDI Setup 6. Select page four by pressing the right cursor button. The fourth page reads: MIDI Left Wheel <-> Right Wheel <-> Pressure is <-> s MIDI controller assignments are bi-directional. For example, if the left wheel is assigned to controller number 12, then the EIII will send out controller data over controller 12 when the left wheel is moved. When the EIII receives MIDI data over controller number 12, it will interpret this as if the left wheel was being moved. pwh 1 chp s Left Wheel: Assign the left wheel to a MIDI continuous controller number. Moving the left wheel will send data identified with the selected controller number through the MIDI Out connector. Available assignments include off, controllers 00 through 31, pwh (pitch wheel), or chp (channel pressure). s Right Wheel: Assign the right wheel to a MIDI continuous controller number. The process is exactly the same as assigning a controller to the left wheel (see above). s Pressure : (Aftertouch) Assign keyboard pressure to a MIDI continuous controller number. The process is exactly the same as assigning a controller to the left wheel (see above). 7. Select page five by pressing the right cursor button. The fifth page reads: MIDI Pedal MIDI A MIDI B <-> off -> off -> off s Pedal: Assign the foot pedal to a MIDI continuous controller number. The process is exactly the same as assigning a controller to the left wheel (see Step 6). s MIDI A : Assign MIDI Control Source A to a MIDI continuous controller number. Realtime parameters (pitch, filter cutoff, level, LFO to pitch modulation index, etc. ) can be assigned to MIDI control sources (see Preset Definition, 0. Realtime Controls for more information about control sources). [. . . ] Check MIDI data filters (Sequencer Management, 6. Data Filters). 13-31 Hard Disk Problems Problem: The EIII display reads "Disk Not Formatted". Cause: The internal hard disk or an external SCSI device may have crashed. Solution: First, disconnect any external SCSI devices and reboot. [. . . ]
