MIDI Functions

You can make detailed adjustments to MIDI settings.

MIDI Transmit/Receive Channel Selection

In any MIDI control setup, the MIDI channels of the transmitting and receiving equip-

ment must be matched for proper data transfer.

This parameter enables you to specify the channel on which the digital piano transmits

or receives MIDI data.

Procedure

Setting the transmit channel

While holding down the

press one of the C1–E2 keys.

Setting the receive channel

While holding down the

press one of the C4–F5 keys.

Local Control ON/OFF

"Local Control" refers to the fact that, normally, the keyboard of this digital piano con-

trols its internal tone generator, allowing the internal 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 keyboard of this digital piano

does not play the internal voices, but the appropriate MIDI information is still trans-

mitted via the MIDI OUT connector when notes are played on the keyboard. At the

same time, the internal tone generator responds to MIDI information received via the

MIDI IN connector.

Procedure

While holding down the

press the C6 key. Pressing the C6 key repeatedly toggles between Local Control On and

Off.
