Any of the standard MIDI channels - 1 through 16 - can be specified. The remote keyboard must be set up to transmit on the specified remote channel, and the keyboard's MIDI OUT connector must be connected to the PSR-A3 MIDI IN connector via a standard MIDI cable.

Remote Channel
..........................................................................................................................................
Sets the MIDI channel on which data from a remote keyboard will be
received. Any of the standard MIDI channels — 1 through 16 — can be
specified. The remote keyboard must be set up to transmit on the specified
remote channel, and the keyboard’s
MIDI OUT
connector must be con-
nected to the PSR-A3
MIDI IN
connector via a standard MIDI cable. Refer
to the “MIDI Implementation Chart” section (page 94) for technical details.
When set to OFF data is received on all 16 MIDI channels. The default set-
ting —
OFF — can be recalled by pressing the
[–/NO]
and
[+/YES]
but-
tons simultaneously.
Remote Channel is automatically
turned OFF when a MIDI “GM
ON” message is received.
The Remote channel setting is
retained in memory even when
the power switch is turned OFF,
as long as batteries are installed
or an AC adaptor is connected.
The PSR-A3 is capable of receiving the same MIDI data, so a second
MIDI keyboard connected to the PSR-A3
MIDI IN
connector can be
used to remotely play the PSR-A3 and select voices as required.

MIDI Sequence Recording
Although the PSR-A3 features a built-in “sequencer” (the SONG re-
corder is a type of sequencer), the same type of musical information
transfer described above can be used for more sophisticated MIDI se-
quence recording using an external sequencer or music computer. A
MIDI sequence recorder or music computer can be used to “record”
MIDI data received from a PSR-A3, for example. When the recorded
data is played back, the PSR-A3 automatically “plays” the recorded per-
formance in precise detail.
Never use MIDI cables longer
than about 15 meters. Cables
longer than this can pick up noise
which can cause data errors.
