l l 3 Ways to Exit From the GENERAL MIDI
Mode
• Remove the General MIDI disk.
• Press the [DISK ORCHESTRA/GENERAL MIDI] or [EXIT]
button.
• Receive any MIDI exclusive message that selects a differ-
ent mode from an external MIDI device.
Notes:
The various channelsettings are as follows:
Transmit
•
This setting is the same in the Remote Control and
DOC/GM modes. It determines the basic channel on
which all PSR-5700 data will be transmitted.
Receive
•
The receive channel setting is the same in the Remote
Control and DOC/GM modes, except that in the DOC/GM
mode only MIDI system exclusive messages will be re-
ceived. The receive channel is the basic channel on which
the PSR-5700 will receive all MIDI data. If set to "All,"
data can be received via all 16 MIDI channels.
SplitTrn
•
The split transmit channel functions only in the Remote
Control mode. This is the channel on which left-hand
performance data (i.e. data produced by playing keys to
the left of the split point) will be transmitted. Right-hand
performance data is transmitted on the basic transmit
channel specified in the first display screen.
RhmRcv
•
This setting is the same in the Remote Control and
DOC/GM modes. It specifies an independent MIDI chan-
nel via which the PSR-5700's rhythm (drums and percus-
sion) can be controlled. This means you can, for example,
play the selected voice via the basic receive channel while
simultaneously playing the rhythm instruments via a dif-
ferent channel (i.e. the RhmRcv channel).
