MIDI
MIDI
MIDI(Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is the international standard for digital communication of
electronic musical instrument data.
This means that any equipment that has a MIDI terminal (such as electronic musical instruments or
personal computers ) can easily exchange digital data with other MIDI equipment without complicated
conversions or connections.
See the
CONNECTING OTHER DEVICES
section on page 15.
SET THE SEND MIDI CHANNEL OF THE VOICE PARTS
In any MIDI control setup, the MIDI channels of the transmitting and receiving equipment must be
matched for proper data transfer (channels 1 through 16). This function sets the transmit channels of
the piano.
Independent MIDI channels can be set for the following three types of play data.
1) Main Voice
2) Layered Voice
3) Split Voice
Press the
MIDI
button, the MIDI lamp lights and the MIDI pop-up appears.
Press the
YES
button until the cursor goes to the desired voice part.
Change the MIDI channel of the selected voice part by using the
DATA
buttons or the
DATA
wheel.
THE LOCAL CONTROL ON/OFF
Local control refers to the fact that, normally, the piano keyboard controls its internal tone generator,
allowing the internal voices to be played directly from the keyboard.
This situation is called Local Control ON. When the local control is set to off, the keyboard and sound
source are separated and no sound is heard through the piano when playing the keyboard.
However, the data of the keyboard performance is output through MIDI. By setting local control to off,
you can play an external MIDI tone generator from the keyboard of the piano without sounding the
internal voices.
Press the
MIDI
button, the MIDI lamp lights and the MIDI pop-up appears.
Press the
YES
button until the cursor goes to the local control. Change the value by using the
DATA
buttons or the
DATA
wheel.
