ENGLISH MIDI Functions You can make detailed adjustments to MIDI settings. 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 digital piano transmits or receives MIDI data. Setting the transmit channel While holding down the [DEMO/SONG] and [PIANO/VOICE] buttons simultaneously, press one of the C1-E2 keys. Setting the receive channel While holding down the [DEMO/SONG] and [PIANO/VOICE] buttons simultaneously, press one of the C4-F5 keys. E2 C1 D2 C4 E5 F5 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.

(C4-F5) ALL Program change and other like channel messages received will not affect this instrument's panel settings or the notes you play on the keyboard. MIDI receive channel is ALL: A "Multi-timbre" Receive mode is available. In this mode, this instrument receives different parts from the connected MIDI device on any or all 16 MIDI channels and plays multi-channel song data. MIDI receive channel is 1+2: A "1+2" Receive mode is available. It allows simultaneous reception on channels 1 and 2 only, enabling this instrument to play 1 and 2 channel song data received from a music computer or sequencer. Data for the demo song, 50 piano preset songs and user song cannot be transmitted via MIDI. Local Control ON/OFF "Local Control" refers to the fact that, normally, the keyboard of this digital piano 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 of this digital piano 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. While holding down the [DEMO/SONG] and [PIANO/VOICE] buttons simultaneously, press the C6 key. Pressing the C6 key repeatedly toggles between Local Control On and Off. C6 When Local control is turned OFF, the keyboard of this instrument does not play the internal voices. Default setting: ON The highest key 30 YDP-161/141 Owner's Manual
