You can make detailed adjustments to MIDI settings.

MIDI Transmit/Receive Channel Selection

In any MIDI control setup, the MIDI channels of the transmitting and receiving equip-
ment must be matched for proper data transfer.
This parameter enables you to specify the channel on which the P-60 transmits or
receives MIDI data.
Procedure
Setting the transmit channel
While holding down the A-1 and C 0 keys, press one of the C1–E2 keys.
Setting the receive channel
While holding down the A-1 and C 0 keys, press one of the C4–F5 keys.

transmit channels.

Local Control ON/OFF

"Local Control" refers to the fact that, normally, the P-60 keyboard controls its internal
tone generator, allowing the internal voices to be played directly from the keyboard.
This situation is "Local Control On," since the internal tone generator is controlled
locally by its own keyboard.
Local control can be turned OFF, however, so that the P-60 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 keyboard. At the same time, the internal
tone generator responds to MIDI information received via the MIDI IN connector.
Procedure
While holding down the A-1 and C 0 keys, press the C6 key.

NOTE
Demo and preset song data are
not transmitted via MIDI.
NOTE
In Dual mode, Voice 1 data is
transmitted on its specified
channel and Voice 2 data is
transmitted on the next greater
channel number relative to the
specified channel. In this mode,
no data is transmitted if the
transmit channel is set to "OFF."
TIP
ALL:
A "Multi-timbre" Receive mode
is available. It allows simulta-
neous reception of different
parts on all 16 MIDI channels,
enabling the P-60 to play multi-
channel song data received
from a music computer or
sequencer.
1+2:
A "1+2" Receive mode is avail-
able. It allows simultaneous
reception on channels 1 and 2
only, enabling the P-60 to play 1
and 2 channel song data
received from a music computer
or sequencer.
TIP
Program change and other like
channel messages received will
not affect the P-60's panel set-
tings or the notes you play on
the keyboard.
NOTE
The P-60 does not receive MIDI
data when it is in Demo or Pre-
set Song mode.
