Keyboard Channel; Local Control; Transpose; Midi Switch, System Settings, & Data Transmission - Yamaha PortaTone PSR-6000 Owner's Manual

(see description below), and the TRANSPOSE LCD
dials to set the transpose type as required (see
description below).

KEYBOARD CHANNEL

In addition to accepting MIDI note data on 16
channels (also during disk playback), the PSR-6000
has a separate keyboard note channel. Data on this
channel can only be controlled via the PSR-6000
panel controls (when LOCAL CONTROL is ON),
and is not affected by MIDI data. This data is
transmitted via MIDI OUT, on the KEYBOARD
CHANNEL.

LOCAL CONTROL

The "Local" parameter determines whether the
PSR-6000 is controlled by its own keyboard or
MIDI data received from an external MIDI device.
When local control is on, the PSR-6000 keyboard
controls its internal tone generator, allowing the
internal voices to be played directly from the key-

TRANSMIT the note data is not transposed, and when set to RECEIVE the note data is transposed.

MIDI SWITCH (Normal Play Mode Only)

Allows reception and transmission of control
change, program change, pitch bend, and system
exclusive data to be independently turned on or off.
Use the appropriate LCD dials to turn CON-
TROL CHANGE , PROGRAM CHANGE , PITCH
BEND, and/or SYSTEM EXCLUSIVE data recep-
tion and transmission ON or OFF.
NOTES
• These "switches" can be used to determine how the
PSR-6000 responds to MIDI data received from exter-
nal equipment. If, for example, you don't want the PSR-
6000 voices to be changed by program change mes-
sages received from an external device, turn the pro-
gram change switch "OFF."
• The same applies to transmission from the PSR-6000
— turn off data that you don't want to be transmitted to
board. Local control can be turned off, however, so that
the PSR-6000 keyboard 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. This means that while an external sequencer or
MIDI computer, for example, plays the PSR-6000's inter-
nal voices, an external tone generator can be played from
the PSR-6000 keyboard.
When Local is "ON" voice and controller parameters
that can be played via the keyboard are set to the same
channel as the transmit channel.

TRANSPOSE

When this parameter is set to RECEIVE, the PSR-
6000 transpose settings are not applied to transmitted
MIDI data. When set to TRANSMIT, the PSR-6000
transpose settings apply to transmitted MIDI data in the
same they do to notes played on the PSR-6000 itself. As
for received MIDI data, when this parameter is set to
