NOTE
All Parts Transmits all parts including the keyboard parts (Right 1–3, and Left), with the exception of
the Song parts.
KBD & STYLE
(Keyboard & Style)
Basically the same as “All Parts” with the exception of how keyboard parts are managed.
The right-hand parts are handled as “Upper” instead of Main and Layer, and the left-hand
part is handled as “Lower.”
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 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.
(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 want tempo (syn-
chronization) to be controlled from the connected MIDI device.
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 conve-
nient 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.
