Bass Note Settings for Style Playback via MIDI Receive

The explanations here apply to the BASS page in step 4 on page 118. These settings let you determine the

bass note for Style playback, based on the note messages received via MIDI. The note on/off messages

received at the channel(s) set to “ON” are recognized as the bass note of the chord of Style playback. The

bass note will be detected regardless of the [ACMP] or split point settings. When several channels are

simultaneously set to “ON,” the bass note is detected from merged MIDI data received over the channels.

1 Use the [A]/[B] buttons to select the channel.

2 Use the [1 ]–[8 ] button to set the desired channel to ON or OFF.

You can also set all channels to OFF by pressing the [F] (ALL OFF) button.

Chord Type Settings for Style Playback via MIDI Receive

The explanations here apply to the CHORD DETECT page in step 4 on page 118. This page lets you select

the MIDI channels over which the MIDI data from the external device will be used to detect the Chord Type

for Style playback. The note on/off messages received at the channel(s) set to “ON” are recognized as the

notes for detecting chords in Style playback. The chords to be detected depend on the fingering type. The

chord types will be detected regardless of the [ACMP] or split point settings. When several channels are

simultaneously set to “ON,” the chord type is detected from merged MIDI data received over the channels.

The operation procedure is basically the same as that of the BASS display above.

The dots corresponding to each channel (1–16)

flash briefly whenever any data is received on the

channel(s).

NOTE If “WLAN” is shown, this instrument can handle

MIDI messages received via the USB wireless LAN

adaptor connected to the [USB TO DEVICE] termi-

nal. When “WLAN” is not shown although the USB

wireless LAN adaptor is connected, turn the instru-

ment off then on again.
