Midi Settings (Midi) - Roland XP-60 Owner's Manual

MIDI settings (MIDI)

MIDI Param1 display varies depending on the sound
source mode selected prior to [SYSTEM] being
pressed. Other displays are common to all modes.
The MIDI group consists of three display pages: MIDI
Param 1, MIDI Param 2 and Bank Select Group. To
change the display page, press [F3] (MIDI).
MIDI Param1 (Performance MIDI Parameter 1) dis-
play
When [SYSTEM] is pressed in Performance mode (or
Rhythm Set mode), the following display will appear.
It is also possible to set the Performance Ctrl-Ch and
Local Switch parameters in the System Parameter win-
dow you open by pressing [LOCAL/TX/RX] then [F2]
(System) in Performance mode.
Performance Ctrl-Ch (Control channel)
Selects the receive channel used for selecting Performances
via MIDI messages (Bank Select and Program Change mes-
sages). If you don't want to use Program Change messages
to select Performances, set this OFF. If you set this control to
the same channel as the receive channel for a Part specified
by the Channel parameter (PERFORM/MIDI/Part MIDI),
Performance selection will have priority and Program
Change messages cannot be used for selecting Patches on
that Part.
This setting is displayed for "Ctrl-Ch=" at the upper
right of the Play display (PERFORM).
Local Switch
Specifies whether all Parts will be played by the keyboard
(ON) or not (OFF). Normally this is left ON, but if you wish
to use the XP-80's keyboard and controllers to control only
external sound sources, set it OFF.
If you want the keyboard to disconnect only from a
specific Part or Parts, use the Local Sw parameter
(PERFORM/MIDI/MIDI Param).
Remote Keyboard Sw (Remote keyboard switch)
Set this parameter ON for using an external MIDI keyboard
instead of the XP-80's keyboard. In this case, the transmit
channel of the external MIDI keyboard can be set to any
channel. Normally this parameter is left OFF.
Set this parameter ON if you want performance using
the RPS function to be controlled by an external MIDI
device.
Device ID Number
For transmitting or receiving System Exclusive messages, set
this parameter to match the device ID number of the other
MIDI device.

Chapter 3. Creating your own sounds
Rx Sys.Excl (Receive system exclusive switch)
Set ON if you want System Exclusive messages to be
received. If not, set OFF.
Tx Edit Data (Transmit edit data switch)
If you want System Exclusive messages to be transmitted for
each change you make while editing a Patch, Performance or
Rhythm Set, set this ON. If not, set it OFF.
Rx GM-ON Message (Receive GM-ON switch)
Set ON for receiving GM-ON messages. Otherwise set OFF.
MIDI Param1 (Patch MIDI Parameter 1) display
When [SYSTEM] is pressed in Patch mode, the following
display will appear.
You can also set the Patch Rx-Ch, Patch Tx-Ch and
Local Switch parameters in the System Parameter win-
dow you open by pressing [LOCAL/TX/RX] in Patch
mode.
Patch Rx-Ch (Patch receive channel)
Specifies the channel on which MIDI messages will be
received in Patch mode.
This setting is displayed for "Rx=" at the upper right of
the Play display (PATCH).
Patch Tx-Ch (Patch transmit channel)
Specifies the channel on which MIDI messages will be trans-
mitted in Patch mode. Set OFF if you're not going to be
sending MIDI messages to external MIDI devices. If you
always want the transmit channel to match the Patch Rx-Ch
parameter setting, set this parameter to Rx-Ch.
This setting is displayed for "Tx=" at the upper right of
the Play display (PATCH).
Local Switch
Specifies whether sounds will be produced by the keyboard
(ON) or not (OFF). Normally set ON, but set OFF when
using the XP-80's keyboard and controllers solely to control
external sound sources.
Remote Keyboard Switch
Set this parameter ON when you want to use an external
MIDI keyboard instead of the XP-80's keyboard. In this case,
the transmit channel of the external MIDI keyboard can be
set to any channel. Normally this parameter should be OFF.
Set this parameter ON for performance using the RPS
function to be controlled by an external MIDI device.
Device ID Number
When transmitting or receiving System Exclusive messages,
set this parameter to match the device ID number of the
other MIDI device.
