Midi Functions; Send And Receive Channel Select - Yamaha PDP-400 Owner's Manual

MIDI Functions

MIDI, the Musical Instrument Digital Interface, is a world-standard communication interface that allows
MIDI-compatible musical instruments and equipment to share musical information and control one another.
This makes it possible to create "systems" of MIDI instruments and equipment that offer far greater versatility
and control than is available with isolated instruments.
The PDP-400 has 11 MIDI functions that are accessed by pressing the appropriate VOICE selector while
holding the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button. The MIDI functions accessed by the various VOICE selectors are
shown in the following chart:

Send and Receive Channel Select

In any MIDI control setup, the MIDI channels of the transmitting and receiving equipment must be matched for
proper data transfer (there are 16 MIDI channels). An "OMNI" receive mode is also available, which allows reception
on all 16 MIDI channels. In the OMNI mode it is not necessary to match the receive channel of the receiving device to
the transmit channel of the transmitting device.

• Always use a high-quality MIDI cable to connect MIDI OUT to MIDI IN terminals.
NOTES
Never use MIDI cables longer than about 15 meters, since cables longer than this
can pick up noise which can cause data errors.
• When using the PDP-400 with other MIDI equipment, always refer to the MIDI
specifications (implementation chart and MIDI data format) of the equipment used
to ensure compatibility.
Z
Hold [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] and press [PIANO] to set the send channel or
[CLAVINOVA TONE] to set the receive channel.
X
Use TEMPO [ ] and [ ] buttons to select the desired channel (the selected
channel number is shown on the TEMPO display — the OMNI ON receive
mode is indicated by "ALL" on the display).
