MIDI Settings ● Tx MONITOR The dots corresponding to each channel (1-16) flash briefly whenever any data is transmitted on the channel(s). n When different parts are assigned to the same transmit channel If the same transmit channel is assigned to several different parts, the transmitted MIDI messages are merged to a single channel - resulting in unexpected sounds and possible glitches in the connected MIDI device. n About the protected Songs Write-protected Songs cannot be transmitted even if the proper Song channels 1-16 are set to be transmitted. ■ MIDI messages which can be transmitted or received (recognized) The following MIDI messages can be set on the TRANSMIT/RECEIVE display. • Note (Note events page 168 • CC (CONTROL CHANGE page 168 • PC (PROGRAM CHANGE page 168 • PB (Pitch Bend page 168 • AT (Aftertouch page 168 MIDI Receive Settings RECEIVE display • KEYBOARD The received note messages control the instrument's keyboard performance. • EXTRA PART 1-5 There are five parts specially reserved for receiving and playing MIDI data. Normally, these parts are not used by the instrument itself. The PSR-S900/S700 can be used as a 32-channel multi-timbral tone generator by using these five parts in addition to the general parts (except for the microphone sound). ● Rx MONITOR The dots corresponding to each channel (1-16) flash briefly whenever any data is received on the channel(s). n Parameter Lock You can "lock" specific parameters (e.g., effect, split point, etc.) to make them selectable only via the panel controls (page 137). ■ MIDI transmission/reception via the USB terminal and MIDI terminals The relationship between the [MIDI] terminals and the [USB] terminal which can be used for transmitting/ receiving 32 channels (16 channels x 2 ports) of the MIDI messages is as follows: MIDI reception [USB TO [MIDI IN] jack HOST] jack MIDI transmission [USB TO [MIDI OUT] jack HOST] jack Port handling USB1 USB2 Merge MIDI/USB1 01-16 Merge USB2 01-16 MIDI/USB 01-16 The explanations here apply to the RECEIVE display to be called up in step 4 of the "Basic Operation" on page 204. This determines which parts will receive MIDI data and over which MIDI channels the data will be received. Operation Select the channel to be received and the part via which the selected channel will be received. You can also determine the types of data to be received. ● The PSR-S900/S700 can receive MIDI messages over 32 channels (16 channels x 2 ports) by USB connection. ● With the exception of the next two parts, the configuration of the parts is the same as those already explained elsewhere in this manual.
