MIDI Functions When this instrument and a computer are connected with a USB cable, MIDI communication can be performed. The explanations here cover the settings necessary for performing MIDI communication between both devices. NOTE For instructions on how to connect this instrument to the computer, refer to the "Computer-related Operations" downloadable from the Yamaha website: http://download.yamaha.com/ MIDI Transmit/Receive Channel Selection In order to perform MIDI communication between this instrument and a computer, it is necessary to match the corresponding MIDI transmit and receive channels. By setting the MIDI transmit channels on this instrument, the setting of the keyboard or pedal performance or the program change can be transmitted over the channel number corresponding to a specified channel on the computer. By properly setting the MIDI receive channels on this instrument, only data of the specified channel will be played back in the MIDI data received from the computer. Setting the Transmit Channel While holding down [DEMO/SONG] and [PIANO/VOICE], press one of the C1 - E2 keys. Setting the Receive Channel While holding down [DEMO/SONG] and [PIANO/VOICE], press one of the C4 - F5 keys.

Voice 2 data is transmitted on the next greater channel number relative to the specified channel. MIDI receive channel = ALL: This allows simultaneous reception of different parts on all 16 MIDI channels. When SMF Song data is played back on a computer with the Voice of this instrument, this setting should be selected. However, when a Voice not available on the instrument is specified, the playback sound may not be suitable. MIDI receive channel = 1+2: This allows simultaneous reception on channels 1 and 2 only. When SMF Song data is played back on a computer, this setting should be selected for playing back only data of channels 1 and 2 on this instrument. NOTE Panel settings (Voices, etc.) of this instrument will not be affected by MIDI messages received from a computer. NOTE Data for the demo songs and piano preset songs cannot be transmitted via MIDI. 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 as desired, so that the keyboard of the instrument does not play the internal voices. While holding down [DEMO/SONG] and [PIANO/VOICE], press the C6 key. Pressing Default setting: the C6 key repeatedly toggles between Local Control On and Off. ON C6 2 CLP-525 MIDI Reference
