MIDI SYSTEM

(Remote Control Mode Only)
Purpose:
These three display screens provide access to a number of
important MIDI system "switches" — internal or external
clock synchronization, local control on/off, transpose data
transmission on/off, and split mode data transmission on/off.
Procedure:
and
Use the buttons to switch between display
screens, and the [-] and [+] buttons below each parameter to
select the desired state for each parameter.
Notes:
The various system parameters operate as follows:
•
Clock
The "INT" (internal) clock setting is the normal setting
when the PSR-5700 is being used alone. If you are using
the PSR-5700 with an external sequencer, MIDI compu-
ter, or other MIDI device, and you want the PSR-5700 to
be synchronized to the external device, set this function to
"EXT" (external). In the latter case, the external device
must be connected to the PSR-5700 MIDI IN connector,
and must be transmitting an appropriate MIDI clock sig-
nal.
•
Local
"Local Control" refers to the fact that, normally, the
PSR-5700 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 PSR-5700 keyboard does not play the internal
voices, but the appropriate MIDI information is still trans-
mitted 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. This means that while an external
sequencer or MIDI computer, for example, plays the PSR-
5700's internal voices, an external tone generator can be
played from the PSR-5700 keyboard.
Local control cannot be turned ON or OFF during sequencer
recording.
•
Transpose Add Note
When this parameter is turned "OFF", the transmitted
MIDI note data will not be affected by the PSR-5700
transpose setting. When "ON," the transmitted notes will
be transposed in accordance with the PSR-5700 transpose
setting. The reverse is true for reception: when "ON" re-
ceived note data is not transposed; when "OFF" received
note data is transposed.
•
SplitSnd/Out
When the SplitSnd (split send) parameter is turned
"ON," the setting of the "Out" parameter determines
whether MIDI note data from the left-hand ("Left"), right-
hand ("Right"), or both sections of the keyboard ("L&R")
are transmitted via the MIDI OUT connector. You could
choose to transmit only the right-hand data so that only
notes played on the right-hand section of the keyboard are
reproduced via an external tone generator, for example.
When turned "OFF" dam from the entire keyboard is
transmitted on the basic transmit channel.
