MIDI
Musical Instrument Digital Interface (MIDI) is a global
standard designed to allow performance, Voice, and
other data to be transferred between musical
instruments. As such, reliable data communication is
assured even between musical instruments and
equipment from different manufacturers.
In addition to data generated by playing the keyboard or
selecting a Live Set Sound, a wide range of other data
types can also be exchanged via MIDI. Using the
powerful functionality provided by this technology, you
can not only play other instruments using this
instrument’s keyboard and controllers, but you can also
adjust the volume or the tone of each Section and adjust
effect settings. In fact, practically all of the parameters
that can be set using the instrument’s control panel can
also be remotely controlled from another MIDI device.
MIDI Channels
MIDI data can be transmitted and received on one of
sixteen MIDI channels. Therefore, performance data
for up to sixteen different instrument parts can be
simultaneously exchanged over a single MIDI cable.
MIDI channels are very similar in nature to TV
channels, in that each TV station transmits its
broadcasts over a specific channel. Your TV, for
example, receives many different programs at the
same time from different broadcasters, and you
select which program to watch by choosing the
corresponding channel.
In much the same way, multiple transmitting devices
in a MIDI system can each be set to send data on a
separate channel (i.e., a MIDI transmit channel),
which link with the system’s receiving devices via
MIDI cables. If a receiving device’s MIDI channel
(i.e., a MIDI receive channel) matches a MIDI
Transmit channel, the receiving device will produce
sound in response to the data sent by the
corresponding transmitting device.
