Program Change ON/OFF

The information related to Voice changes is called "program change" in MIDI. Sending and receiving program change

messages can be enabled or disabled as desired on this instrument. For example, if the relevant transmit and receive

parameters are set to ON, Voice change information in this instrument can be transmitted to or received from a computer.

(However, the Voice as played from the keyboard is maintained and does not change.)

While holding down [DEMO/SONG] and [PIANO/VOICE], press the C#5 key. Pressing

the C#5 key repeatedly toggles between Local Control On and Off.

Control Change ON/OFF

Information related to non-note expressive changes, such as the use of a sustain pedal, is called "control change" in

MIDI. Sending and receiving control change messages can be enabled or disabled as desired on this instrument. For

example, if the relevant transmit and receive parameters are set to ON, pedal performance information on this instrument

can be transmitted to or received from a computer. (However, the performance of pedals and other controls as played

from the instrument is maintained and does not change.)

While holding down [DEMO/SONG] and [PIANO/VOICE], press the D5 key. Pressing the

D5 key repeatedly toggles between Local Control On and Off.

Changing Song Playback Channels

Try this operation when playback of Songs loaded from the computer produces an unexpected or unnatural sound.

To set Song Playback Channels to "1+2":

While holding down [DEMO/SONG] and [PIANO/VOICE] simultaneously, press the C7

key.

With this operation, the Song data of only channels 1 and 2 will be played back. When

Voices incompatible with this instrument are assigned to channels 3 – 16 and the Piano

parts are assigned to the channels 1 and 2, this operation results in the proper or

expected sound.

To set Song Playback Channels to "ALL":

While holding down [DEMO/SONG] and the [PIANO/VOICE] simultaneously, press the

B6 key.

With this operation, the Song data of all channels will be played back.
