Midi 2 Display - Yamaha Clavinova CVP-600 Owner's Manual

MIDI
Local Control ON/OFF LOCAL
"Local Control" refers to the fact that, normally, the Clavinova key-
board controls its internal tone generator, allowing the internal voices to
be played directly from the keyboard. This situation is called "Local
Control ON". When the local control is set to off, the "keyboard" and
"sound source" are separated and no sound is output through the
Clavinova when playing the keyboard. However, the data of the key-
board performance is output through MIDI. By setting Local Control to
off, you can play an external MIDI tone generator from the keyboard of
the Clavinova without sounding the internal voices.
To set this, press the LOCAL button. The data dial and [–/+] buttons
cannot be used.
Sync
..................................................................................................................................
Playback of songs and Auto Accompaniment is normally controlled
by the internal clock (INT.) of the Clavinova at a specific tempo. By
setting this clock to "EXT.", the Clavinova's tempo can be controlled by
an external sequencer or rhythm machine. For example, this lets you
play the Auto Accompaniment of the Clavinova in perfect synchroniza-
tion with an external sequencer.
To set this, press the SYNC. button. The data dial and the [–/+] but-
tons cannot be used.
MIDI 2 Display —
The MIDI 2 function display contains the MIDI filter settings which
can be used to turn transmission and reception of certain types of MIDI
data on or off.
Program ON/OFF
Normally the Clavinova will respond to MIDI program change num-
bers received from an external keyboard or another MIDI device. For
example, the Clavinova can change voices in response to MIDI program
change messages received from a connected MIDI sequencer. (These
messages do not affect the keyboard-played voices.) The voices of con-
nected external MIDI devices can also be changed by program change
messages transmitted from the Clavinova. (Program change messages
are transmitted when changing voices on the panel of the Clavinova.)
Depending on your particular MIDI setup, you may find that this fea-
ture is convenient in some cases and not in others. Set PROGRAM to
off if you wish to disable the program change transmission/reception.
Set PROGRAM to "Tx&Rx" to turn on transmission/reception of pro-
gram change messages.
