MIDI Functions

You can make detailed adjustments to MIDI settings.

In Dual, Voice 1 data is transmitted on its

specified channel and Voice 2 data is

transmitted on the next greater channel

number relative to the specified channel.

In this case, no data is transmitted if the

transmit channel is set to “OFF.”

ALL:

“Multi-timbre” Receive. This allows

simultaneous reception of different parts

on all 16 MIDI channels, enabling the

instrument to play multi-channel song

data received from a music computer or

sequencer.

1&2:

“1&2” Receive. This allows simultaneous

reception on channels 1 and 2 only,

enabling the instrument to play 1 and 2

channel song data received from a music

computer or sequencer.

Program change and other like channel

messages received will not affect the

panel settings of the instrument or the

notes you play on the keyboard.

Data for the demo song, piano preset

songs and user-recorded song cannot be

transmitted via MIDI.

In any MIDI control setup, the MIDI channels of the transmitting and receiving devices must be matched

for proper data transfer.

This parameter enables you to specify the channel on which the instrument transmits or receives MIDI

data.

Setting the Transmit Channel

While holding down the [DEMO] button, press and hold the [METRONOME] button, then press

one of the C#1–F2 keys.

Setting the Receive Channel

While holding down the [DEMO] button, press and hold the [METRONOME] button, then press

one of the G2–C4 keys.

“Local Control” refers to the fact that, normally, the keyboard of the instrument controls its internal tone generator, allowing the inter-

nal voices to be played directly from the keyboard. This situation is “Local Control On,” since the internal tone generator is controlled

locally by its own keyboard. Local control can be turned OFF, however, so that the the keyboard of the instrument does not play the

internal voices, but the appropriate MIDI information is still transmitted via the MIDI OUT terminal when notes are played on the key-

board. At the same time, the internal tone generator responds to MIDI information received via the MIDI IN terminal.

Default setting: ON

While holding down the [DEMO] button, press and hold the [METRONOME] button, then press

one of the A#5 key. Pressing the A#5 key repeatedly toggles between Local Control On and Off.
