PSR-SX900/SX700 Reference Manual
The explanations here apply when you call up “System” display in step 2 on
.
System—MIDI System Settings
Clock
Determines whether the instrument is controlled by its own internal clock (“Internal”) or a
MIDI clock (“MIDI,” “USB1,” “USB2,” and “Wireless LAN”) received from an external
device. “Internal” is the normal Clock setting when the instrument is being used alone or as a
master keyboard to control external devices. If you are using the instrument with an external
sequencer, MIDI computer, or other MIDI device, and you want to synchronize it to that
device, set this parameter to the appropriate setting: “MIDI,” “USB1,” “USB2,” or “Wireless
LAN.” In this case, make sure that the external device is connected properly (e.g., to the
instrument’s MIDI IN terminal), and that it is properly transmitting a MIDI clock signal.
When this is set for control by an external device (“MIDI,” “USB1,” “USB2,” or “Wireless
LAN”), the Tempo is indicated as “EXT.” in the Tempo display.
Transmit Clock
Turns MIDI clock (F8) transmission on or off. When set to “Off,” no MIDI clock or Start/
Stop data is transmitted even if a Song or Style is played back.
Transpose MIDI Input
Determines whether or not the instrument’s transpose setting is applied to the note events
received from the external device via MIDI.
Start/Stop
Determines whether incoming FA (start) and FC (stop) messages affect Song or Style play-
back.
Local Control
Turns the Local Control for each part on or off. When Local Control is set to “On,” the key-
board of the instrument controls its own (local) internal tone generator, allowing the internal
Voices to be played directly from the keyboard. If you set Local to “Off,” the keyboard and
controllers are internally disconnected from the instrument’s tone generator section so that no
sound is output when you play the keyboard or use the controllers. For example, this allows
you to use an external MIDI sequencer to play the instrument’s internal Voices, and use the
instrument keyboard to record notes to the external sequencer and/or play an external tone
generator.
