ENGLISH Detailed Settings - [FUNCTION] F6. Metronome Volume Use this function to adjust the metronome volume. Setting range: 1-20 Default setting: 10 NOTE SHORTCUT: You can jump directly to the metronome functions by press- ing the [TEMPO/FUNCTION] button while holding the [METRO- NOME] button. F7. MIDI Functions You can make detailed adjustments to the MIDI settings. For more information about MIDI, see the "About MIDI" section (page 48). F7.1: MIDI Transmit 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 MIDI data. Setting range: 1-16, OFF (not transmitted) Default setting: 1 NOTE • In Dual, Voice 1 data is transmitted on its specified channel. In Split, right voice data is transmitted on its specified channel. In Dual, Voice 2 data is transmitted on the next greater channel number relative to the specified channel. In Split, left voice data is transmitted on the next greater channel number relative to the specified channel. In either case, no data is transmitted if the transmit channel is set to "OFF." • Song data is not transmitted via the MIDI connections. However, channels 3-16 of External songs will be transmitted via the MIDI connections depending on the Song Channel Selection setting (page 43). F7.2: MIDI 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 receives MIDI data. Setting range: ALL, 1&2, 1-16 Default setting: ALL 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 music computer or sequencer. 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 music computer or sequencer. • Program change and other like channel messages received will not affect the instrument's panel settings or the notes you play on the keyboard. F7.3: Local Control ON/OFF "Local Control" refers to the fact that, normally, the instrument keyboard 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 keyboard does not play the internal voices, but the appropriate MIDI information is still transmitted via the MIDI OUT terminal when notes are played on the keyboard. At the same time, the internal tone generator responds to MIDI information received via the MIDI IN terminal. Setting range: ON/OFF Default setting: ON F7.4: Program Change ON/OFF Normally the instrument will respond to MIDI program change numbers received from an external keyboard or other MIDI device, causing the correspondingly numbered voice to be selected on the corresponding channel (the keyboard voice does not change). The 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 transmission so that voices can be selected on the instrument without affecting the external MIDI device. NOTE For information on program change numbers for each of the instrument's voices, refer to MIDI Data Format page 62. Setting range: ON/OFF Default setting: ON 44 P-155 Owner's Manual
