Clock and transport

Manufacturer documented

In SETTINGS → MIDI CONFIG → SYNC, CLOCK RECEIVE follows incoming tempo. TRANSPORT RECEIVE separately enables external start and stop. Turn on the corresponding SEND setting when Digitone is sending those messages instead.

Program Change reception also has its own switch. Its input channel is selected under CHANNELS, not by changing the clock settings.

Incoming notes and ports

Manufacturer documented

PORT CONFIG → INPUT FROM chooses MIDI, USB or both; DISABLED receives nothing. RECEIVE NOTES must also be enabled for an external keyboard to play the synth.

CHANNELS → AUTO CHANNEL addresses the active track. Use the relevant TRACK 1–4 CHANNEL for a fixed synth track instead; OFF disables reception for that track.
