Performing with an external MIDI device

Performing with an

external MIDI device

Use PAGE/CURSOR [ ]/[ ] to select “Local Control.”

fig.r10-22_40

By holding down [SHIFT] and using PAGE/CURSOR [ ]/

[] you can quickly select the “SYSTEM|GENERAL” group

(p. 90).

Use VALUE [-]/[+] to set the parameter to “OFF.”

Press [WRITE] to save the settings.

For further information, refer to

“How to make the system

function settings”

(p. 88).

Press [EXIT] to cancel the operation and return to the previous page.

* Regardless of the Local Control setting, music data from an external

MIDI device is always received and will play the internal sound

generator.

Turning on the external sequencer’s

thru function

Turn the sequencer’s Thru function ON. The sequencer takes the

performance data received at the MIDI IN connector and outputs the

data unchanged from the MIDI OUT connector (refer to the previous

section).

To determine whether or not your sequencer features a MIDI Thru

function and for instructions on making the Thru function setting,

refer to the owner’s manual for your sequencer.

* If your sequencer does not have a Thru function, set the RS-50’s Local

Control to ON.

Setting the performance

Before beginning to record, first make the Performance settings

(select the Patches and Key mode, make any multi-effects, chorus,

and reverb settings, set the knobs, and so on).

Also set the Receive Channel and Receive Switch for each part

(p. 57)

Recording

Recording the performance’s settings

at the beginning of the song

First, record the Performance settings at the beginning of the song. If

this is done, playing back the song from the beginning will

automatically set the RS-50 to the Performance settings that were

used during recording (regardless of the Performance that was

selected when playback began), ensuring that playback will use the

correct sounds and settings.

* Record the song at the tempo at which it is to be played back. If the

tempo used for playback of a song is changed from the tempo selected at

the time of recording, the RS-50 may not be able to correctly receive the

settings for the recorded Performance, which may prevent proper

playback of the performance data.

In Performance mode, press [UTILITY] so it is lit.

Use PAGE/CURSOR [ ]/[ ] to select “XFER to MIDI.”

Press [ENTER].

Make “XFER to MIDI” settings as described in

“Transmitting

performance settings from the MIDI OUT connector (XFER

to MIDI)”

(p. 61).

Select “CUR PERFORM” for “What.”

Put your external sequencer in recording mode before you

execute “XFER to MIDI.”

Press [ENTER] to transmit the settings.

Do not press any key on the keyboard while the transmission is

in progress. Pressing a key sends Note messages from the MIDI

OUT connector.

To cancel the transmission, press [EXIT].

After the transmission is finished, the display will indicate

“COMPLETED.”

Stop the external sequencer.

Recording each part separately

Next, we will record the music data for each Part onto separate

tracks. We will start recording the song from the measure following

the one in which the Performance settings were recorded.

We will record tracks in the order of drums

→

bass

→

accompaniment

→

melody, while listening to the tracks that were

recorded on previous passes.

For example, assign Tones to each Part as shown below.

Drums: Part 10

Bass: Part 9

Accompaniment: Part 6

Melody: Part 3

* Tone changes, and the actions of the Pitch Bend lever, Modulation

lever, knobs, and other controls are also recorded.

* It is not necessary to record the song at the tempo at which it is to be

played back. You may record at a tempo that is comfortable for you.

Listening to the recorded

performance

When you finish recording all Parts, play it back and listen to the

result. Note the following when playing back a song.

* If you modify the settings of each Part (volume, panning, etc.), you will

need to re-record the modified performance settings at the beginning of

the song.

Set the “Rx Sys Exc” (System Exclusive

Receive Switch) to ON (p. 90)

When set to OFF, the performance settings recorded at the beginning

of the song cannot be received. With the factory settings, this will be

“ON.”
