MIDI System Settings

The explanations here apply to the System page in step 4 on page 79.

Use the Cursor buttons [][] to select the parameters (below), and then set the On/Off status by using the

[1 ]–[8 ] buttons.

1 Local Control

Master KBD In this setting, the instrument functions as a “master” keyboard, playing and con-

trolling one or more connected tone generators or other devices (such as a computer/

sequencer).

Song All transmit channels are set to correspond to Song channels 1–16. This is used to

play Song data with an external tone generator and to record Song data to an external

sequencer.

Clock Ext. 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 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

play melodies from the keyboard and control Style playback on the instrument with

the left-hand buttons.

MIDI Accord2 Basically the same as MIDI Accord 1 above, with the exception that the chord/bass

notes you play with your left hand on the 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.

Turns the Local Control for each part on or off. When Local Control is set to On, the key-

board of the instrument controls its own (local) internal tone generator, allowing the internal

Voices to be played directly from the keyboard. If you set Local Control to Off, the keyboard

and controllers are internally disconnected from the instrument’s tone generator section so

that no sound is output when you play the keyboard or use the controllers. For example, this

allows you to use an external MIDI sequencer to play the instrument’s internal Voices, and

use the instrument keyboard to record notes to the external sequencer and/or play an external

tone generator.
