OFF XG/GM KEYBOARD CHORD ROOT V.HARMONY (PSR-740) No MIDI data is received on channels set to "Off." Received MIDI data is sent directly to the PSR-740/640 tone generator. If all channels are set to "XG/GM," the PSR-740/640 functions as a 16-channel multi-timbral tone generator. Received MIDI data is handled in the same way as data generated by the PSR-740/640's own keyboard. In other words, a remote keyboard could be used to control the PSR-740/640 AUTO ACCOMPANIMENT functions, etc. The note on/off messages received at the channel(s) set to "CHORD" are recognized as the fingerings in the accompaniment section. The chords to be detected depend on the fingering mode on the PSR-740/640. The chords will be detected regardless of the accompaniment on/off and split point settings on the PSR-740/640 panel. The note on/off messages received at the channel(s) set to "ROOT" are recognized as the bass notes in the accompaniment section. The bass notes will be detected regardless of the accompaniment on/off and split point settings on the PSR-740/640 panel. Received notes are used as the added Vocal Harmony Vocoder type notes. 131 129
