F7. MIDI Functions

You can make detailed adjustments to MIDI
settings.
For more information about MIDI, see the
"About MIDI" section (page 45).
The HOST SELECT switch on the bottom surface must be
set to "MIDI" to enable the MIDI connectors. When you use
the TO HOST connector, set the HOST SELECT switch to
the appropriate position for the type of computer you are
using (pages 45–51). In this situation, all MIDI settings
described below will affect the MIDI signal in and out of the
TO HOST connector.
1. Engage Function mode and select
2. Press the [+/YES] button to engage the MIDI
function's sub-mode, then use the [TEMPO/
FUNCTION# ▼, ▲] buttons to select the
desired sub-mode.
Press the [–/NO] or [+/YES] button to set a
selected parameter.
Sub-mode
MIDI Transmit Channel Selection
In any MIDI control setup, the MIDI channels of the
transmitting and receiving equipment must be matched
for proper data transfer.
This parameter enables you to specify the channel on
which the YDP-223 transmits MIDI data.
Setting range: 1 – 16, OFF (not transmitted)
Normal setting: 1
NOTE
In Dual mode, Voice 1 data is transmitted on its specified
channel. Voice 2 data is transmitted on the next greater chan-
nel number relative to the specified channel. No data is trans-
mitted if the transmit channel is set to "OFF".
NOTE
Demo/preset song data and recorder playback data are not
transmitted via MIDI.

MIDI Receive Channel Selection
In any MIDI control setup, the MIDI channels of the
transmitting and receiving equipment must be matched
for proper data transfer. This parameter enables you to
specify the channel on which the YDP-223 receives MIDI
data.
Setting range: ALL, 1&2, 1 – 16
Normal setting: ALL
ALL:
A "Multi-timbre" Receive mode is available. It allows simulta-
neous reception of different parts on all 16 MIDI channels,
enabling the YDP-223 to play multi-channel song data
received from a music computer or sequencer.
1&2:
A "1&2" Receive mode is available. It allows simultaneous
reception on channels 1 and 2 only, enabling the YDP-223 to
play 1 and 2 channel song data received from a music com-
puter or sequencer.
Program change and other like channel messages received
will not affect the YDP-223's panel settings or the notes you
play on the keyboard.
NOTE
No MIDI reception occurs when Demo/Preset Song mode is
engaged.
Local Control ON/OFF
"Local Control" refers to the fact that, normally, the
YDP-223 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
YDP-223 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.
Setting range: ON/OFF
Normal setting: ON
