MIDI
The Musical Instrument Digital Interface
(MIDI) is an industry-standard protocol that
enables electronic musical instruments such
as keyboards, computers, drum machines,
etc. to communicate, control and synchronize
with each other. MIDI transmissions consist of
electronic codes that communicate notes to be
played, the instrument, pitch or intensity that
notes are to be played with, and the controlling
codes such as volume, vibrato, cues and clock
signals. The Legato has several functions that
facilitate its use as a MIDI device or controller.
MIDI Channels
The Legato has 16 channels numbered from
1-16. Each of the channels is responsible for
a voice. When the instrument receives MIDI
information from an external device, the active
channel is determined by the control message.
The transmission channels are fixed as follows:
Channel 1 Master voice (keyboard)
Channel 2 Split voice (keyboard)
Channel 3 Layer voice (keyboard)
Local On/Off
Turning the Local On/Off function to “Off” will
disconnect the keyboard from the internal
sound engine of the piano. The Legato may
then be used as a MIDI controller to control
other MIDI devices or virtual instrument
software running on a computer, without
playing the sounds on the piano. Additionally,
it may be desirable to turn local playing off for
other requirements such as when using MIDI
sequencing software on your computer.
