The explanations here apply when you call up “System” display in step 2 on page 90.
Master KBD
(Master Keyboard)
In this setting, the instrument functions as a “master” keyboard, playing and controlling
one or more connected tone generators or other devices (such as a computer/sequencer).
Song
With this setting, only the Song channels 1 – 16 are transmitted from this instrument via
the corresponding channel numbers 1 – 16 respectively. This is used to play Song data
with an external tone generator and to record Song data to an external sequencer.
Clock Ext
(Clock External)
Playback or recording (Song, Style, etc.) synchronizes with an external MIDI clock instead
of the instrument’s internal clock. This template should be used when you wish to set the
tempo on the MIDI device connected to the instrument.
MIDI Accord1
(MIDI Accordion 1)
MIDI accordions allow you to transmit MIDI data and play connected tone generators
from the keyboard and bass/chord buttons of the accordion. This template lets you
control the keyboard performance and Style playback from a MIDI Accordion.
MIDI Accord2
(MIDI Accordion 2)
Basically the same as “MIDI Accord1” above, with the exception that the chord/bass notes
you play with your left hand on a MIDI Accordion are recognized also as MIDI note
events.
MIDI Pedal1
MIDI pedal units allow you play connected tone generators with your feet (especially
convenient for playing single note bass parts). This template lets you play/control the
chord root in Style playback with a MIDI pedal unit.
MIDI Pedal2
This template lets you play the bass part for Style playback by using a MIDI pedal unit.
MIDI OFF
No MIDI signals are sent or received.
System – MIDI System Related Settings
Clock
Determines whether the instrument is controlled by its own internal clock (“Internal”) or
a MIDI clock (“MIDI,” “USB1,” “USB2,” and “Wireless LAN”) received from an external
device. “Internal” is the normal Clock setting when the instrument is being used alone or
as a master keyboard to control external devices. If you are using the instrument with an
external sequencer, MIDI computer, or other MIDI device, and you want to synchronize it
to that device, set this parameter to the appropriate setting: “MIDI,” “USB 1,” “USB 2,” or
“Wireless LAN.” In this case, make sure that the external device is connected properly
(e.g., to the instrument’s MIDI IN terminal), and that it is properly transmitting a MIDI
clock signal. When this is set for control by an external device (“MIDI,” “USB1,” “USB2,”
or “Wireless LAN”), the Tempo is indicated as “Ext.” in the Tempo display.
NOTE If the Clock is set other than “Internal,” the Style, Song, Metronome and Tempo cannot be
controlled by the buttons on this instrument.
NOTE “Wireless LAN” is shown only when the USB Wireless LAN adaptor (which may not be
included depending on your area) is connected to this instrument.
Transmit Clock
Turns MIDI clock (F8) transmission on or off. When set to “Off,” no MIDI clock or Start/
Stop data is transmitted even if a Song or Style is played back.
Transpose MIDI
Input
Determines whether or not the instrument’s transpose setting is applied to the note events
received from the external device via MIDI.
Start/Stop
Determines whether incoming FA (start) and FC (stop) messages affect Song or Style
playback.
