2 Setting Up: Power & Connections MIDI Connections OUT -- MIDI -- IN MIDI OUT Although the QY20 can be played and programmed from the built-in micro keyboard, an external MIDI keyboard connected to the MIDI IN connector provides the added advantages of standard keyboard size and key velocity sensitivity (if your keyboard has a velocity-sensitive keyboard). Connect the MIDI OUT connector of the keyboard to the MIDI IN connector of the QY20, and make sure that your keyboard is set to transmit on the appropriate MIDI channel. The QY20 MIDI channel assignments are as follows: MIDI Channel Voice 1 Sequencer track TR1 2 Sequencer track TR2 3 Sequencer track TR3 4 Sequencer track TR4 5 Accompaniment track C1 (Chord 1) 6 Accompaniment track C2 (Chord 2) 7 Accompaniment track Ba (Bass) 10 Accompaniment track Dr (Drums) This simply means that if your keyboard transmits on MIDI channel 1, it will control the QY20 voice that is currently assigned to sequencer track 1, and so on. See page 38 for instructions on how to assign different voices to the SONG mode tracks. Data received on MIDI channels other than those listed above also produce sound, according to the selected "Pgc Mode" (page 162) and received MIDI DETAIL program change messages (see the "MIDI Data Format" booklet). 22
