Simple Midi Control - Yamaha PSR-48 Authorized Product Manual

Simple MIDI Control

Most MIDI keyboards (including the PSR-
48, of course) transmit note and velocity
(touch response) information via the MIDI
OUT connector whenever a note is played
on the keyboard. If the MIDI OUT
connector is connected to the MIDI IN
connector of a second keyboard
(synthesizer, etc.) or a tone generator
(essentially a synthesizer with no
keyboard), the second keyboard or tone
generator will respond precisely to notes
played on the original transmitting
keyboard. The result is that you can
effectively play two instruments at once,
providing thick multi-instrument sounds.
The PSR-48 also transmits "program
change" data when one of its voices is
selected. Depending on how the receiving
device is set up, the corresponding voice
will be automatically selected on the
receiving keyboard or tone generator
whenever a voice is selected on the PSR-
48.
