Viewing the sounds of an external MIDI
device in the C-330's display (Tone Name)
If an MX-200 or GM2-compatible sound module is connected, the
names of the sounds in the MX-200 or GM2-compatible sound
module can be viewed in the "USER/MIDI" screen.

numbers.
The screen will show the name of the MX-200's sound
MX200 if an MX-200 is connected as an external MIDI sound
module.
The screen will show the name of the GM2 sound if a
GM2 GM2-compatible sound module is connected as an
external MIDI sound module.
Specifying the MIDI data output format for
the general memory pistons (TX Piston)
When transmitting performance data via MIDI, you can specify the
type of MIDI data that will be transmitted when you press a general
memory [1]–[5] piston.
Value Explanation
OFF MIDI data will not be transmitted.
Data describing the details of the sounds that should
be produced when that piston is pressed will be
transmitted. If you're recording your performance into
a MIDI sequencer, this will ensure that the sounds are
STOP/MAP reproduced accurately.
However, since a large amount of data is transmitted
when you press the piston, the sounding of the first
note-on after you press the piston may be delayed in
some cases.
Only program changes indicating the current memory
bank and the general memory piston that was pressed
will be transmitted.
If you're recording your performance into a MIDI
sequencer, the performance will not be accurately
reproduced unless the contents of the memory bank
PC used during the performance match the contents
during recording (for example, if you've saved the
settings to USB memory).
However, since a large amount of data will not be
transmitted when you press the piston, there will be no
significant delay in the first note-on after you press the
piston.
If you want the setting to be remembered even after the power
is turned off, refer to "Storing your settings (Customize)" (p.
65).

Settings for the USER/MIDI
couplers
Each sound tablet in each division (keyboard) allows you to select
four variations of sound. In addition, the C-330 allows you choose
from many other sounds. Use the USER/MIDI couplers to select
these sounds.
Using USER/MIDI as user sound couplers (to
play sounds not included in the sound tablets)
If you want to use sounds that are not included in the sound tablets,
you can choose to assign USER sounds to the [USER/MIDI] couplers.
There are two [USER/MIDI] couplers in each division.
For each sound assigned to a [USER/MIDI] coupler, you can
adjust parameters such as Octave, Reverb, and Brilliance,
giving you more flexibility than for the other sound tablets.
You can also access the "USER/MIDI" screen (step 3) in
SHORTCUT
either of the following ways.
1. From the main screen, press the bottom part of the [USER/
MIDI A] or [USER/MIDI B] division tablet twice to access the
"USER/MIDI" screen.
2. From the main screen, hold in the [SET] piston and press the
[USER/MIDI A] or [USER/MIDI B] division tablet to access the
"USER/MIDI" screen.
