System Real Time
— “Clock” is like a
metronome to send the synchronizing
signal.
System real time commands send three
kinds of signals —
start
tells the key-
board to start playing from the begin-
ning,
stop
tells all the synchronized
instruments to stop playing, and
contin-
ue
is similar to start, but it signals the
music to begin at whatever point it was
last stopped.
All Notes Off
— This feature is a kind of
panic button: it stops the sounds cur-
rently playing. The keyboard only re-
ceives this message.
Active Sensing
— This means the key-
board’s sound turns off in the event the
connection cable to
MIDI IN
terminal is
accidentally disconnected.
