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

[DEMO/SONG]

neously, press the C6 key. Pressing the C6 key repeatedly toggles between Local Control

On and Off.

In Dual mode, 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 mode,

no data is transmitted if the

transmit channel is set to "OFF."

ALL:

A "Multi-timbre" Receive mode

is available. In this mode, this

instrument receives different

parts from the connected MIDI

device on any or all 16 MIDI

channels and plays multi-chan-

nel song data.

1+2:

A "1+2" Receive mode is avail-

able. It allows simultaneous

reception on channels 1 and 2

only, enabling this 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 this instrument's

panel settings or the notes you

play on the keyboard.

Data for the demo song and 50

piano preset songs cannot be

transmitted via MIDI.

CAUTION

When Local control is turned

OFF, the keyboard of this instru-

ment does not play the internal

voices.
