Midi Settings; Keyboard Lighting Via Song Playback - Yamaha EZ-220 Owner's Manual

MIDI settings

On this instrument, the following MIDI parameters can be set by using the [FUNC-
TION] button (page 15). These are useful when connecting this instrument to a com-
puter, and recording your keyboard performance to music software, for example.
 Local Control
Determines whether or not the internal Voices respond to the notes you play on the
keyboard.
• ON.............This is the normal default setting in which notes played on this
instrument and coming from a computer via a USB cable are
sounded by the internal Voices.
• OFF ...........Playing notes on this instrument does not sound the internal Voices,
but transmits the note data to a computer via a USB cable. The notes
coming from a computer via a USB cable are sounded by the inter-
nal Voices.
This can be set by using the [FUNCTION] button (page 15).
 External Clock
Determines whether Song/Style/Metronome playback is synchronized to the internal
clock of this instrument (OFF), or to the clock signal from a computer connected to
the USB TO HOST terminal (ON).
• ON.............Playback will be synchronized to the clock from a computer. While
no clock is being received from a computer, playback cannot be
done.
• OFF ...........This is the normal default setting in which the instrument uses its
own internal clock.
This can be set by using the [FUNCTION] button (page 15).
 Initial Send (Panel Setting Transmission)
Sends the current panel settings of this instrument to a computer. When recording
the keyboard performance to a computer, you can use this function to ensure that the
original panel settings are automatically restored when the recorded data is played
back.
This can be set by using the [FUNCTION] button (page 15).
Keyboard Lighting via Song Playback on a computer
Receiving data over MIDI channel 1 from a computer lights the corresponding notes
on the keyboard. This means that you can use the Song data on a computer for key-
board practice if the melody part to be practiced is assigned to MIDI channel 1.
