Changing the Velocity Mode
Depending on the keyboard you use, the dynamics of EMR-1 voices played in the Keyboard Percussion Mode may not
properly match those of the keyboard voices. For example, if you play a mezzoforte (mf = moderately loud) note on the
keyboard, the EMR-1 voice might sound too loud in relation to the keyboard voice. This situation can be easily remedied
by changing the EMR-1 VELOCITY MODE.
1. While holding the MIDI/FOOT SW button down, press the WALTZ selector once. This will display the current velocity
mode:
e If the SMALL LED is lit, the velocity mode is normal (the EMR-1 produces mf volume when it receives a MIDI velocity
value of 64).
e If the LARGE LED is lit, the EMR-1 produces mf volume when it receives a MIDI velocity value of 96—i.e. you have
to play the keyboard harder to produce mf volume.
2. To change the current setting, press the WALTZ voice selector a second time (while still holding the MIDI/FOOT SW
button). Each time you press the WALTZ selector the velocity mode will alternate between mf = 64 and mf = 96.
3. Release the MIDI/FOOT SW button.
Rhythm START/STOP Reception and Transmission
Normally the EMR-1 will transmit and respond to received MIDI START and STOP messages.
This function makes it possible to cancel START/STOP reception and transmission if you do not want the EMR-1 to
respond to external MIDI START/STOP messages, or an external MIDI device to be affected by START/STOP messages
from the EMR-1.
1. While holding the MIDI/FOOT SW button down, press the SAMBA selector once. This will display the current
START/STOP status:
¢ If the LARGE LED is lit, START/STOP reception/transmission is OFF.
¢ If the SMALL LED is lit, START/STOP reception/transmission is ON.
2. To change the current setting, press the SAMBA selector a second time (while still holding the MIDI/FOOT SW button).
Each time you press the SAMBA selector the START/STOP reception status will alternate between ON and OFF.
3. Release the MIDI/FOOT SW button.
Transmitting the EMR-1 Settings
This function causes all the current EMR-1 settings to be transmitted via the MIDI OUT terminal. This is particularly
useful if you will be recording performances on the EMQ-1 Disk Recorder which will be used to control the EMR-1 on
playback. By transmitting the EMR-1 settings and recording them on the EMQ-1 prior to the actual performance data,
the EMR-1 will be automatically restored to the same settings when the performance recorded on the EMQ-1 is played
back. Refer to the EMQ-1 User's Guide for operational details.
1. While holding the MIDI/FOOT SW button, press the SWING rhythm selector. This causes all the current EMR-1 sett-
ings to be transmitted via the MIDI OUT terminals.
2. Release the MIDI/FOOT SW button.
Bulk Dump Data Transmission
Two bulk-dump data transmission functions permit bulk-dump transmission of EMR-1 data to a MIDI sequencer or disk
recorder.
1. Press the BALLAD rhythm selector while holding the MIDI/FOOT SW button to transmit the EMR-1's rhythm
sequence data.
2. Press the SHUFFLE rhythm selector while holding the MIDI/FOOT SW button to transmit the EMR-1's instrument/
keyboard note assignments.
