Midi Receive Setting - Yamaha Portatone PSR-640 Owner's Manual

MIDI Receive Setting

The PSR-740/640 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.

XG/GM Received MIDI data is sent directly to the PSR-740/640 tone generator. If all
channels are set to "XG/GM," the PSR-740/640 functions as a 16-channel
multi-timbral tone generator.
KEYBOARD Received MIDI data is handled in the same way as data generated by the
PSR-740/640's own keyboard. In other words, a remote keyboard could be
used to control the PSR-740/640 AUTO ACCOMPANIMENT functions, etc.
CHORD 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-740/640. The chords will
be detected regardless of the accompaniment on/off and split point settings
on the PSR-740/640 panel.
ROOT 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-740/640 panel.
V.HARMONY Received notes are used as the added Vocal Harmony Vocoder type notes.
