MIDI Functions You can make detailed adjustments to MIDI settings. MIDI Transmit/Receive Channel Selection In any MIDI control setup, the MIDI channels of the transmitting and receiving devices must be matched for proper data transfer. This parameter enables you to specify the channel on which the instrument transmits or receives MIDI data. Setting the Transmit Channel While holding down the [DEMO/SONG] button, press and hold the [METRONOME/RHYTHM] button, then press one of the E0-G#1 keys. Setting the Receive Channel While holding down the [DEMO/SONG] button, press and hold the [METRONOME/RHYTHM] button, then press one of the A#1-D#3 keys. G#1 A#1 D#3 NOTE In Dual, Split or Duo, Voice 1 data is transmitted on its specified channel and Voice 2 data is transmitted on the next greater channel number relative to the specified channel. In this case, no data is transmitted if the transmit channel is set to "OFF." NOTE ALL: "Multi-timbre" Receive. This allows simultaneous reception of different parts on all 16 MIDI channels, enabling the instrument to play multi-channel song data received from a computer. 1+2: "1+2" Receive. This allows simultaneous reception on channels 1 and 2 only, enabling the instrument to play 1 and 2 channel song data received from a computer.

Local Control ON/OFF "Local Control" refers to the fact that, normally, the keyboard of the instrument controls its internal tone generator, allowing the internal voices to be played directly from the keyboard. This situation is "Local Control On," since the internal tone generator is controlled locally by its own keyboard. Local control can be turned OFF, however, so that the the keyboard of the instrument does not play the internal voices, but the appropriate MIDI information is still transmitted via the [USB TO HOST] terminal when notes are played on the keyboard. At the same time, the internal tone generator responds to MIDI information received via the [USB TO HOST] terminal. While holding down the [DEMO/SONG] button, press and hold the [METRONOME/RHYTHM] button, then press the D6 key. Pressing the D6 key repeatedly toggles between Local Control On and Off. NOTE Default setting: ON D6 2 P-105 MIDI Reference
