MIDI Functions

30

Program Change ON/OFF

Normally this instrument will respond to MIDI program change numbers received

from an external keyboard or other MIDI device, causing the correspondingly-num-

bered voice to be selected on the corresponding channel (the keyboard voice does not

change). This instrument will normally also send a MIDI program change number

whenever one of its voices is selected, causing the correspondingly-numbered voice or

program to be selected on the external MIDI device if the device is set up to receive and

respond to MIDI program change numbers.

This function makes it possible to cancel program change number reception and trans-

mission so that voices can be selected on this instrument without affecting the external

MIDI device.

While holding down the

[DEMO/SONG]

and

[PIANO/VOICE]

buttons simultaneously,

press the C

±

6 key. Pressing the C

±

6 key repeatedly toggles between Program Change On

and Off.

Control Change ON/OFF

MIDI Control Change data refers to MIDI information related to performance expres-

sion (such as damper pedal information).

You can transmit MIDI Control Change data from this instrument to control the oper-

ation of a connected MIDI device. (For example, if you operate this instrument’s

damper pedal, this instrument will transmit MIDI Control Change data.)

On the other hand, MIDI performance data received on this instrument from a con-

nected MIDI device will respond to MIDI Control Change data received from the

MIDI device at the same time. (However, the voice you are currently playing on the

keyboard will not respond to the MIDI Control Change data.)

The ability to transmit and receive MIDI Control Change data is sometimes very use-

ful. Turn Control Change On if it is convenient for you to have this capability. Turn

Control Change Off if you rather prefer not to have this capability.

While holding down the

[DEMO/SONG]

and

[PIANO/VOICE]

buttons simulta-

neously, press the D6 key. Pressing the D6 key repeatedly toggles between Control

Change On and Off.
