Tyros4 Reference Manual
MIDI Receive Settings
The explanations here apply to the RECEIVE Page in step 4 on
. This determines which parts will receive MIDI
data and over which MIDI channels the data will be received.
1
Use the [A]/[B] buttons or [1
]/[2
] buttons to select the
channel to be received.
The Tyros4 can receive MIDI messages over 32 channels (16 channels x 2 ports)
by USB connection.
2
Use the [3
] buttons to select the part via which the
selected channel will be received.
With the exception of the two parts below, the configuration of the parts is the
same as those already explained elsewhere in the Owner’s Manual.
KEYBOARD
The received note messages control the Tyros4’s keyboard performance.
EXTRA PART 1–4
There are four parts specially reserved for receiving and playing MIDI data. Nor-
mally, these parts are not used by the instrument itself. The Tyros4 can be used as
a 32-channel multi-timbral tone generator by using these four parts in addition to
the parts (except for the microphone sound).
3
Use the [4
]–[8
] button to determine the types of data
to be received.
