Description
Registration Control Channel selects the MIDI receive channel used during switching
of registrations when MIDI messages (Program Change/Bank Select) are sent from an
external MIDI device. Set this to "OFF" if registrations are not to be switched from an
external MIDI device.
Specifi es whether Program Change messages will be received (ON) or not (OFF).
Specifi es whether Bank Select messages will be received (ON) or not (OFF).
Specifi es whether Control Change messages will be received (ON) or not (OFF).
Specifi es whether System Exclusive messages will be received (ON) or not (OFF).
Specifi es the receive channel on which the Ensemble part will receive MIDI messages.
Specifi es the receive channel on which the Vocal Designer part will receive MIDI
messages.
Specifi es the receive channel on which the Bass & Percussion parts will receive MIDI
messages.
Specifi es whether changes you make to the settings of each part will be transmitted as
system exclusive messages (ON) or not transmitted (OFF).
Specifi es whether Program Change messages will be transmitted (ON) or not (OFF).
Specifi es whether Bank Select messages will be transmitted (ON) or not (OFF).
Specifi es whether the VP-770's keyboard will play the sounds of each of the VP-770's
parts (ON) or will not play them (OFF).
Normally, you can leave this ON.
Performance data from the VP-770's keyboard will be sent to each of the VP-770's parts
and transmitted from the MIDI OUT connector. If you have connected an external MIDI
sequencer, the MIDI messages transmitted from the MIDI OUT connector will be routed
through your MIDI sequencer and returned to the VP-770's MIDI IN connector. This can
create problems, such as duplicate MIDI messages being received, which causes each of
the VP-770's parts to sound every note twice. In this situation, you can turn the Local Sw
setting OFF so that the performance data from the keyboard will not play the parts.
Specifi es whether Active Sensing messages will be transmitted (ON) or not (OFF).
Thru function re-transmits all messages received at the MIDI IN connector to the MIDI
OUT connector without modifying them in any way.
When you want to transmit or receive System Exclusive messages, set this parameter to
match the Device ID number of the other MIDI device.
This prevents the settings of user memory from being rewritten by system exclusive
messages transmitted by an external MIDI device. The "ON" setting prevents rewriting,
and the "OFF" setting allows rewriting.
