MIDI MIDI Transmission The PSR-1700/PSR-2700 allows independent MIDI transmit channels to be assigned to the L and R ORCHESTRATION voices. It is also possible to independently turn local control and MIDI output on or off for the L and R voices. s MIDI Transmit Channels The L and R ORCHESTRATION voices can be independently set to transmit on any of the 16 MIDI channels as follows: ZPress the [L] or [R] TRANSMIT CH TRANSMIT CH L R LOCAL MIDI OUT Press the [L] button if you want to set the L voice transmit channel, or the [R] to set the R voice transmit channel. The currently selected channel for the selected voice will appear on the LCD display panel.

The default "L" channel number is "2", and the default "R" channel is "1". XSelect the Desired Transmit Channel -+ 01 Use the [+] and [-] buttons, the number buttons, the data dial, or the [L] or [R] button itself to select the desired transmit channel. RESET NOTES • The currently selected transmit channel is retained in memory even when the power switch is turned off, as long as backup batteries are installed or an AC plug is connected. • To record the Song Memory data to an external sequencer, start the sequencer running in the record mode, press the [RESET] button, and then press the [PLAY/STOP] button. • To record the Auto Accompaniment data to an external sequencer, start the sequencer running in the record mode, select the style you want to record, then start Auto Accompaniment playback. • Notes played on the keyboard are transmitted on channel 1 or 2 (selectable), Auto Accompaniment data is transmitted on channels 10 through 16, and Song Memory data is transmitted on channels 3 through 8. Normally the Auto Accompaniment Rhythm 1 and Rhythm 2 tracks are both transmitted on channel 10. To transmit these tracks separately, hold the C1 key while turning the power on. When this is done the Rhythm 1 data will be transmitted on channel 9 and the Rhythm 2 data will be transmitted on channel 10. s Local & MIDI Output ON/OFF The [LOCAL/MIDI OUT] buttons and indicators below the TRANSMIT CH [L] and [R] buttons can be used to turn local control and MIDI output ON or OFF as required. The status of the LOCAL and MIDI OUT indicators changes as shown below each time the corresponding [LOCAL/MIDI OUT] button is pressed: TRANSMIT CH L R LOCAL MIDI OUT LOCAL / MIDI OUT NOTES • When "LOCAL" control is turned ON (indicator lit), the PSR-1700/PSR-2700 is controlled by its own keyboard. When "LOCAL" control is off, playing the keyboard produces no sound - it can only be played by MIDI data received via the MIDI IN terminal. • When MIDI OUT is turned ON (indicator lit), operating the PSR-1700/PSR-2700 produces corresponding MIDI output. When MIDI OUT is turned OFF (indicator out) no MIDI output is produced by the PSR-1700/PSR-2700. • LOCAL & MIDI OUT ON/OFF controls note on/off only. All other data is always output automatically. • Since LOCAL & MIDI OUT ON/OFF status is memorized in the Registration Memory, you can select the tone generator to be used (PSR-1700/PSR-2700 or an external tone generator) by changing the registration memory. • Auto accompaniment will not function when Left LOCAL OFF is selected. Auto accompaniment note on/off data will not be output when Left MIDI OUT OFF is selected. 76
