MIDI SETTINGS

MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a standard protocol designed to allow exchange of information between electronic instruments and/or computers. A MIDI cable is used to connect two appliances equipped with MIDI connectors, thus allowing data to be exchanged between the two appliances. The EFX-1000 uses MIDI to send and receive operation and BPM data (timing clock).

About Rhythm Effects

(Example shown is 3 rhythms)

During TRANSMIT:

Each time rhythm TAP is struck, data is transmitted in the order rhythm parameter 2 (rhythm No.) and rhythm parameter 1 (rhythm time).

During RECEIVE:

¶ During beat effect, if beat operation mode (rhythm mode) is received, the rhythm effect function is enabled.

Thereafter, if the first time rhythm No. 1, time 1, rhythm No. 2, time 2, rhythm No. 3, time 3 are transmitted in that order, the effector continues to operate in response to the received rhythm.

¶ During rhythm effect, if the beat operation mode (BPM mode) is transmitted, the function returns to beat effect.

Snapshot

Once the effector is set to a target value, a snapshot of that state can be taken. When snapshot is used, all commands for control change are transmitted at once. When setting [TRANSMIT], hold the METER MODE/MIDI SNAP button depressed to transmit the snapshot. When this is done the MIDI indicator will flash.
