For more information about MIDI, see the
"About MIDI" section (page 48).
F7.1: MIDI Transmit 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 specify the channel on
which the instrument transmits MIDI data.
Setting range:
Default setting: 1
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 num-
ber 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. However,
channels 3–16 of External songs will be transmitted via the MIDI
connections depending on the Song Channel Selection setting
(page 43).
F7.2: 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 instrument receives MIDI
data.
Setting range:
Default setting: ALL

NOTE
• ALL:
"Multi-timbre" Receive. This allows simultaneous reception of dif-
ferent parts on all 16 MIDI channels, enabling the instrument to
play multi-channel song data received from a music computer or
sequencer.
1&2:
"1&2" Receive. This allows simultaneous reception on channels 1
and 2 only, enabling the instrument 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 instrument's panel settings or the notes you play on
the keyboard.

F7.3: Local Control ON/OFF
"Local Control" refers to the fact that, normally, the
instrument keyboard 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 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:
Default setting: ON
F7.4: Program Change ON/OFF
Normally the instrument will respond to MIDI program
change numbers received from an external keyboard or
other MIDI device, causing the correspondingly num-
bered voice to be selected on the corresponding channel
(the keyboard voice does not change). The instrument
will normally also send a MIDI program change number
whenever one of its voices is selected, causing the corre-
spondingly numbered voice or program to be selected on
the external MIDI device if the device is set up to receive
and respond to MIDI program change numbers.
This function makes it possible to cancel program
change number reception and transmission so that
voices can be selected on the instrument without affect-
ing the external MIDI device.
NOTE
For information on program change numbers for each of the instru-
ment's voices, refer to MIDI Data Format page 62.
