MIDI Sequence Recording

The same type of musical information transfer described

above is used for MIDI sequence recording. A MIDI sequence

recorder can be used to "record" MIDI data received from a

PSR-300, for example. When the recorded data is played back,

the PSR-300 automatically "plays" the recorded performance

in precise detail.

PSR-300 MIDI Settings &

Functions

The Remote Control Mode

The Remote Control mode should be used when the PSR-

300 is to be connected to a second keyboard which it is to

control. If the PSR-300 is being used as the receiving device,

it can be played from an external keyboard while the panel

controls — including auto accompaniment — operate

normally.

Remote Control Mode Selection

The Remote Control mode is automatically selected

whenever the PSR-300 is turned ON. If the Multi Voice

Mode has been selected (see below), however, the Remote

Control mode can be re-selected by pressing the numeric

VOICE/STYLE [0] button while holding the CHORD

MEMORY [REC] button. "rc" will appear on the display.

Remote Control Mode Reception

The following points apply to MIDI data received by the

PSR-300 in the Remote Control mode.

MIDI start messages control PSR-300 rhythm, chord memory

record start, and chain play start in the same way as the panel

[START/STOP] button.

MIDI stop messages have the same effect as pressing the panel

[START/STOP] button when a function is running.

OMNI ON means that reception can occur simultaneously on all

available channels (1 through 16). When a single receive channel

is selected, reception only occurs on the specified channel.

In addition to note and velocity data, the PSR-300 responds to

program change, sustain ON/OFF, start, stop, and MIDI clock

messages.

Transpose settings affect received MIDI note numbers.

If the TEMPO

button is pressed during external sync

mode is engaged, "EC" (External Clock) will appear on the

display.

External synchronization is automatically selected when MIDI

clock is received. If the external MIDI clock data is not received,

internal clock operation is automatically resumed.

Velocity sensitivity is dependent on the selected voice.

*Refer to the Remote Control Mode "MIDI

Implementation Chart" on page 34 for more details.

Remote Control Mode Transmission

The following points apply to MIDI data transmitted by

the PSR-300 in the Remote Control mode.

Transmitted note numbers are not affected by the Transpose

setting.

In the NORMAL or SPLIT mode, all keyboard data is transmitted

via the specified MIDI transmit channel. When the FINGERED or

SINGLE FINGER mode is used, only MIDI data corresponding to

notes played on the right-hand section of the keyboard is

transmitted via the MIDI OUT connector on the specified MIDI

transmit channel.

Remote Control Mode MIDI Transmission

Normal Mode

SPLIT Mode

Data from the left- and right-hand sections of the keyboard is

mixed and transmitted over the same MIDI channel.

FINGERED, SINGLE FINGER Mode

Data from the left-hand section of the keyboard is not transmitted.
