MIDI SYSTEM (Normal Play Mode Only)

These functions provide access to a number of
important MIDI system "switches" — internal or
external clock synchronization, local control on/off,
transpose data transmission on/off, and split mode
data transmission on/off.
Use the appropriate LCD dials to set the CLOCK,
LOCAL CONTROL , TRANSPOSE, and SPLIT
SEND parameters as required (see descriptions be-
low).

CLOCK

INT (internal) clock setting is the normal setting
when the PSR-6000 is being used alone. If you are
using the PSR-6000 with an external sequencer,
MIDI computer, or other MIDI device, and you want
the PSR-6000 to be synchronized to the external
device, set this function to EXT (external). In the
latter case, the external device must be connected to
the PSR-6000 MIDI IN connector, and must be
transmitting an appropriate MIDI clock signal.

LOCAL CONTROL

"Local Control" refers to the fact that, normally,
the PSR-6000 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 con-
trol 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
108
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 internal voices, an external tone generator
can be played from the PSR-6000 keyboard.

TRANSPOSE

When this parameter is set to RECEIVE, the transmit-
ted MIDI note data will not be affected by the PSR-6000
transpose setting. When set to TRANSMIT the transmit-
ted notes will be transposed in accordance with the PSR-
6000 transpose setting. The reverse is true for reception:
when set to TRANSMIT received note data is not trans-
posed; when set to RECEIVE received note data is
transposed.

SPLIT SEND

The SPLIT SEND parameter can be set so that MIDI
note data from the left-hand (L), right-hand (R), or both
sections of the keyboard (L&R) are transmitted via the
MIDI OUT connector. You could choose to transmit only
