About MIDI ■ MIDI settings These settings should be made when transmitting/receiving performance data to a connected MIDI device or computer. Local Settings Local Control determines whether or not notes played on the instrument are sounded by its internal tone generator system; the internal tone generator is active when local control is on, and inactive when local control is off. On ........ This is the normal setting in which notes played on the instrument's keyboard are sounded by the internal tone generator system. Data received via the instrument's MIDI terminal will also be played by the internal tone generator. Off ....... With this setting the instrument itself produces no sound (keyboard performance, or Style playback), but the performance data is transmitted via the MIDI terminal. Data received via the instrument's MIDI terminal will be played by the internal tone generator. You can set the Local Control in the Function Settings (page 53). CAUTION • If you can't get any sound out of the instrument, Local Control may be the most likely cause. Playing the keyboard results in no sound when Local is set to OFF. External Clock Settings These settings determine whether the instrument is synchronized to its own internal clock (OFF), or to a clock signal from an external device (ON). On......... The instrument's time based functions will be synchronized to the clock from an external device connected to the MIDI terminal. Off ........ The instrument uses its own internal clock (default). You can set the External Clock in the Function Settings (page 53). CAUTION • If External Clock is ON and no clock signal is being received from an external device, the Song, Style, and metronome functions will not start. EZ-200 Panel Setting Transmission (Initial Send) Sends the EZ-200 panel settings to an external MIDI device. When recording a EZ-200 performance to an external computer, sequencer or similar equipment, you can use this function to send the current EZ-200 panel settings so that when the sequence is played back the original panel settings are automatically restored. You can set Initial Send in the Function settings (page 53). 56 EZ-200 Owner's Manual
