ENGLISH MIDI Functions You can make detailed adjustments to MIDI settings. For more information about MIDI, see the "About MIDI" section (page 22). MIDI Transmit/Receive Channel Selection In any MIDI control setup, the MIDI channels of the transmitting and receiving equipment must be matched for proper data transfer. This parameter enables you to specify the channel on which the P-60 transmits or receives MIDI data. Procedure Setting the transmit channel While holding down the A-1 and C 0 keys, press one of the C1-E2 keys. Setting the receive channel While holding down the A-1 and C 0 keys, press one of the C4-F5 keys. A-1 C 0 C1 E2 D 2 E5 C4 F5 2 4 7 9 11 14 16 1 3 5 6 8 10 12 13 15 For setting the transmit channels. (C1-D 2) OFF 2 4 7 9 11 14 16 1 3 5 6 8 10 12 13 15 1+2 For setting the receive channels. (C4-F5) For ALL mode Local Control ON/OFF "Local Control" refers to the fact that, normally, the P-60 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 P-60 keyboard does not play the internal voices, but the appropriate MIDI information is still transmitted via the MIDI OUT connector when notes are played on the keyboard. At the same time, the internal tone generator responds to MIDI information received via the MIDI IN connector. Procedure While holding down the A-1 and C 0 keys, press the C6 key. A-1 C 0 C6 NOTE Demo and preset song data are not transmitted via MIDI. NOTE In Dual mode, Voice 1 data is transmitted on its specified channel and Voice 2 data is transmitted on the next greater channel number relative to the specified channel. In this mode, no data is transmitted if the transmit channel is set to "OFF." TIP ALL: A "Multi-timbre" Receive mode is available. It allows simultaneous reception of different parts on all 16 MIDI channels, enabling the P-60 to play multichannel song data received from a music computer or sequencer. 1+2: A "1+2" Receive mode is available. It allows simultaneous reception on channels 1 and 2 only, enabling the P-60 to play 1 and 2 channel song data received from a music computer or sequencer. TIP Program change and other like channel messages received will not affect the P-60's panel settings or the notes you play on the keyboard. NOTE The P-60 does not receive MIDI data when it is in Demo or Preset Song mode. The highest key 24 P-60 MIDI Functions
