Midi Receive Setting - Yamaha PortaTone PSR-540 Owner's Manual

MIDI Receive Setting

The PSR-540 can simultaneously receive data on all 16 MIDI channels, allowing it to
function as a 16-channel multi-timbral tone generator. The Receive Channel and
Receive Mode functions determine how each channel will respond to received MIDI
data.

No MIDI data is received on channels set to "Off".
Received MIDI data is sent directly to the PSR-540 tone
generator. If all channels are set to "XG/GM", the PSR-540
functions as a 16-channel multi-timbral tone generator.
Received MIDI data is handled in the same way as data
generated by the PSR-540's own keyboard. In other words, a
remote keyboard could be used to control the PSR-740/640
AUTO ACCOMPANIMENT functions, etc.
The note on/off messages received at the channel(s) set to
"Chord" are recognized as the fingerings in the accompaniment
section. The chords to be detected depend on the fingering
mode on the PSR-540. The chords will be detected regardless
of the accompaniment on/off and split point settings on the
PSR-540 panel.
The note on/off messages received at the channel(s) set to
"Root" are recognized as the bass notes in the accompaniment
section. The bass notes will be detected regardless of the
accompaniment on/off and split point settings on the PSR-540
panel.
