* When this is ON, the USB input from this unit is looped back to the USB output, even when the pattern effect is off. Make sure before turning this ON that the signal is not looped within the device you’ve connected to this unit.

Auto Off

OFF, 30min, 240min

Specifies whether the unit will turn off automatically after a certain time has elapsed. If you don’t want the unit to turn off automatically, choose “OFF” setting.

The Auto Off setting is disabled (the power does not turn off automatically) when the unit is connected via USB.

LCD Contrast

Specifies the system tempo.

Tempo Src

PATTERN, SYSTEM

When you switch patterns, this setting specifies whether to use the system tempo (SYSTEM) or the tempo stored in the pattern (PATTERN).

Sync Mode

Ø “EXT CLK IN jack”

Sync Out

OFF, MIDI, USB, MIDI/USB

Specifies the connector from which MIDI clock messages etc. are output.

MIDI

Parameter

Value

Explanation

Ctrl Ch

1–16, OFF

Specifies the MIDI receive channel on which MIDI messages (program change and bank select) from an external MIDI device can be received to switch programs.

If you don’t want programs to be switched from a connected MIDI device, turn this “OFF”.

Part 1 Ch

1–16

Specifies the MIDI receive channel for part 1.

Part 2 Ch

1–16

Specifies the MIDI receive channel for part 2.

Part 3 Ch

1–16

Specifies the MIDI receive channel for part 3.

Part 4 Ch

Part R Ch

1–16

Specifies the MIDI receiving channel for part R.

Soft Thru

OFF, ON

If this is ON, MIDI messages that are input from the MIDI IN connector are re-transmitted without change from the MIDI OUT connector.

USB-MIDI Thru

OFF, ON

Specifies whether MIDI messages received at the USB or MIDI IN port are transmitted without change from the MIDI OUT connector and USB port (ON) or not (OFF).

Remote Kbd

OFF, MIDI IN, USB

Sets which connector is used for input when you use an external MIDI keyboard instead of the keyboard of the SH-4d.
Normally you will leave this “OFF”.

OFF: External MIDI Notes are ignored. The keyboard of the SH-4d is used exclusively.
MIDI IN: Uses the MIDI device that’s connected to the MIDI IN connector.
USB: Uses the input from a computer that’s connected via USB.

As the SH-4d does not support USB HOST functionality, you can’t connect and use a MIDI keyboard or similar controller via USB.

Set the transmit channel of your external MIDI keyboard to the Ctrl Ch of this unit.

Local Sw

OFF, ON

Connects (ON) or disconnects (OFF) the keyboard from the internal sound generator.

MIDI Tx

Parameter	Value	Explanation
Tx PC	OFF, ON	Specifies whether program change messages will be transmitted (ON) or not be transmitted (OFF).
Tx Bank	OFF, ON	Specifies whether bank select messages will be transmitted (ON) or not be transmitted (OFF).

MIDI Rx

Parameter	Value	Explanation

Offset X	-100–+100	Sets the output X (horizontal direction) value when this unit is placed flat.
Offset Y	-100–+100	Sets the output Y (forward/backward direction) value when this unit is placed flat.
Sense	1–10	Sets the output sensitivity to this unit’s tilt. Smaller values produce a greater output in respect to this unit’s tilt.
Gravity	0–10	When this unit is placed nearly flat, this sets how much force is required to return the output value to zero.
