Using MIDI
• For detailed specifications of the MIDI
function, see the “MIDI Implementation
Chart” on Page 54.
Note On/Off
—
specifies which keys are
pressed (Note On) or released (Note Off).
Also includes how loud a note is played as a
value from 0 to 127.
Notes:
• The pitch of a note depends on the tone
that is being used, as shown in the “MIDI
Implementation Chart” on Page 54.
• If the keyboard receives a “request” to
play notes outside of its range (higher or
lower), it automatically selects the same
note in the nearest octave.
Program Change — specifies the tone.
Pitch Bend — supplies pitch bend informa-
tion. The keyboard’s pitch changes as it re-
ceives a Pitch Bend message through the
MIDI
IN
terminal, and the keyboard sends
pitch bend information through the
MIDI OUT
terminal as you rotate
PITCH BEND
.
Control Change — adds effects such as vi-
brato and volume changes applied during
keyboard play. The message includes a con-
trol number (the effect type) and a control
value (the on/off and depth of the effect).
Here is the data that can be received with
this keyboard and the corresponding control
number.
Use the Bank Select setting to select the
keyboard’s tone groups to be changed by the
Program Number message.
• Bank 0 — 0 to 127 (General MIDI tones)
• Bank 1 — 128 to 191 (synthesized
tones)
• Bank 2 — 192 to 199 (drum sets)
• Bank 3 — 200 to 231(user tones)
Just before sending a Program Change mes-
sage, send two Control Change messages
with this data to the keyboard:
• Control Number = 0, Control Value =
<bank number>
• Control Number = 32, Control Value = 0
Note: Channel 10 is reserved for drum
sounds only, so it is not necessary to send
bank select data when changing tones.
RPN is used when combining multiple con-
trol changes. RPN (100 and 101) selects the
parameter to control, and Data Entry (6 and
38) sets the contents of the parameter. On
the keyboard, RPN is used to set pitch bend
range, transpose, and tune control from an
external MIDI device.
All Sound Off forces all sound on the cur-
rent channel to turn off, regardless of how
the sound is being produced.
All Notes Off turns off all note data sent
from an external device on the channel. The
