"About MIDI" section (page 47).
F8.1: MIDI Transmit Channel Selection

transmitting and receiving devices must be matched for
proper data transfer.
This parameter enables you to specify the channel on
which the P-140 transmits MIDI data.

1 – 16, OFF (not transmitted)
NOTE
• In Dual, Voice 1 data is transmitted on its specified channel. In
Split, right voice data is transmitted on its specified channel. In
Dual, Voice 2 data is transmitted on the next greater channel
number relative to the specified channel. In Split, left voice
data is transmitted on the next greater channel number relative
to the specified channel. In either case, no data is transmitted
if the transmit channel is set to "OFF."
• Song data is not transmitted via the MIDI connections. How-
ever, channels 3-16 of External songs will be transmitted via
the MIDI connections depending on the Song Channel Selec-
tion setting (page 43).
F8.2: MIDI Receive Channel Selection
In any MIDI control setup, the MIDI channels of the
transmitting and receiving devices must be matched for
proper data transfer. This parameter enables you to spec-
ify the channel on which the P-140 receives MIDI data.
Setting range: ALL, 1&2, 1 – 16
Default setting: ALL
NOTE
• ALL:
"Multi-timbre" Receive. This allows simultaneous reception of
different parts on all 16 MIDI channels, enabling the P-140 to
play multi-channel song data received from a music computer
or sequencer.
1&2:
"1&2" Receive. This allows simultaneous reception on chan-
nels 1 and 2 only, enabling the P-140 to play 1 and 2 channel
song data received from a music computer or sequencer.
• Program change and other like channel messages received
will not affect the P-140's panel settings or the notes you play
on the keyboard.
F8.3: Local Control ON/OFF
"Local Control" refers to the fact that, normally, the P-
140 keyboard controls its internal tone generator, allow-
ing the internal voices to be played directly from the key-
board. 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 P-
140 keyboard does not play the internal voices, but the
appropriate MIDI information is still transmitted via the
MIDI OUT terminal when notes are played on the key-
board. At the same time, the internal tone generator
responds to MIDI information received via the MIDI IN
terminal.
Setting range: ON/OFF
Default setting: ON
