Seq.Track/Trans.Ch
•
This setting only applies when the Remote Control
Mode is selected. Separate transmit channels can be set
for sequencer tracks 1 through 7 (the ACCOMP. track
does not transmit) so the PSR-5700 sequencer can be used
to drive an external multi-timbre tone generator or multi-
ple tone generators via the specified channels.
If basic, split, and or sequencer track transmit channels are set
to the same MIDI channel number, an exclamation mark (!) will
appear next to the channel number. If the basic and split trans-
mit channels are set to the same number, the data from both
the left- and right-hand sections of the keyboard will be trans-
mitted on the basic transmit channel (the content of the data to
be transmitted can be set via the "SPLIT SEND PART" func-
tion described on page 57). Further, if several sequencer
tracks are set to transmit on the same channel, the data from
all those tracks will be transmitted on the same channel.
As with the transmit channels described above, if the basic,
rhythm, and or multi part (page 56) transmit channels are set
to the same MIDI channel number, an exclamation mark (!) will
appear next to the channel number. In this case the received
data will apply to all voices accessed by that channel number.
If for example, the basic, rhythm, and multi part receive chan-
nel are all set to the same number, any note data received on
that channel will play the orchestra 1, rhythm, and multi part
voices simultaneously.
If the basic receive channel is set to "All," a multi part receive
channel cannot be assigned.
l l DOC/GM Mode
Purpose:
Sets the transmit channel and turns local control on or off
for the DOC/GM mode.
Procedure:
Use the left [-] and [+] buttons set the transmit channel (1
... 16) and the right [-] and [+] buttons to turn local control
on or off. The "TransposeAddNote" parameter is available in
the second screen.
Notes:
The "Local" parameter determines whether the PSR-5700
is controlled by its own keyboard or MIDI data received
from an external MIDI device. When local control is on, the
PSR-5700 keyboard controls its internal tone generator, al-
lowing the internal voices to be played directly from the
keyboard. Local control can be turned off, however, so that
the PSR-5700 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 key-
board. 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 compu-
ter, for example, plays the PSR-5700's internal voices, an
external tone generator can be played from the PSR-5700
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.
TransposeAddNote
•
When this parameter is turned "OFF," the PSR-5700
transpose settings are not applied to transmitted MIDI
data. When turned "ON," the PSR-5700 transpose settings
apply to transmitted MIDI data in the same they do to
notes played on the PSR-5700 itself. As for received
MIDI data, when this parameter is "ON" the note data is
not transposed, and when set to "OFF" the note data is
transposed.
Use the right [-] and [+] buttons to turn this parameter
ON or OFF.
In addition to accepting MIDI note data on 16 channels (also
during disk playback), the PSR-5700 has a separate keyboard
note channel. Data on this channel can only be controlled via
the PSR-5700 panel controls (when "Local" is "ON"), and is not
affected by MIDI data. This data is transmitted via MIDI OUT
on the "KeyboardCh".
