ENGLISH About MIDI About MIDI MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a standard format for data transmission/reception. It enables the transfer of performance data and commands between MIDI devices and personal computers. Using MIDI, you can control a connected MIDI device from the instrument, or control the instrument from a connected MIDI device or computer. MIDI connectors TIP MIDI performance data and commands are transferred in the form of numeric values. TIP Since MIDI data that can be transmitted or received varies depending on the type of MIDI device, check the "MIDI Implementation Chart" to find out what MIDI data and commands your devices can transmit or receive. OUT IN MIDI MIDI [IN]: Receives MIDI data. MIDI [OUT]: Transmits MIDI data. TIP You can also obtain detailed information about MIDI from various music books and other publications. MIDI cables Prepare dedicated MIDI cables. MIDI Transmit Channel Selection In any MIDI control setup, the MIDI channels of the transmitting and receiving equipment must be matched for proper data transfer. This parameter enables you to specify the channel on which the instrument transmits MIDI data. Press one of the C1-E2 keys while holding the [BGM] button (see Quick Operation Guide). F11: In Dual mode, Voice 1 data (the main voice) is transmitted on the specified channel and Voice 2 data is transmitted on the next higher channel number. In Split mode, the right voice data is transmitted on the specified channel and the left voice data is transmitted on the channel two numbers higher. (In other words, if the right voice is set to channel 3, then the left voice data will be transmitted on channel 5). In either mode, no data is transmitted if the transmit channel is set to "OFF." F01: In Dual/Split mode, Voice 1/right voice data is transmitted on its specified channel (Voice 2/left voice data is transmitted on the next higher channel number relative to the specified channel). In either mode, no data is transmitted if the transmit channel is set to "OFF." MIDI Receive Channel Selection In any MIDI control setup, the MIDI channels of the transmitting and receiving equipment must be matched for proper data transfer. This parameter enables you to specify the channel on which the instrument receives MIDI data. Press one of the C3-F4 keys while holding the [BGM] button (see Quick Operation Guide). TIP Program change and other like channel messages received will affect the F11/F01's panel settings or the notes you play on the keyboard, only when you select the appropriate channels 1-16 on F11.
