About MIDI

■ MIDI settings

These settings should be made when transmit-
ting/receiving performance data to a connected
MIDI device or computer.
Local Settings
Local Control determines whether or not notes
played on the instrument are sounded by its
internal tone generator system; the internal tone
generator is active when local control is on, and
inactive when local control is off.
• On
This is the normal setting in which notes
played on the instrument's keyboard are
sounded by the internal tone generator sys-
tem. Data received via the instrument's
MIDI terminal will also be played by the
internal tone generator.
• Off
With this setting the instrument itself pro-
duces no sound (keyboard performance, or
Style playback), but the performance data
is transmitted via the MIDI terminal. Data
received via the instrument's MIDI termi-
nal will also be played by the internal tone
generator.
You can set the Local Control in the Function
Settings (page 44).
NOTE
• If you can't get any sound out of the instrument, Local Control
may be the most likely cause. Playing the keyboard results in
no sound when Local is set to OFF.

External Clock Settings
These settings determine whether the instrument
is synchronized to its own internal clock (OFF),
or to a clock signal from an external device
(ON).
• On
The instrument's time based functions will
be synchronized to the clock from an
external device connected to the MIDI ter-
minal.
• Off
The instrument uses its own internal clock
(default).
You can set the External Clock in the Function
Settings (page 44).
NOTE
• If External Clock is ON and no clock signal is being received
from an external device, the Song, Style, and metronome
functions will not start.
PSR-E223/YPT-220 Panel Setting Trans-
mission (Initial Send)
Sends the PSR-E223/YPT-220 panel settings to
an external MIDI device.
When recording a PSR-E223/YPT-220 perfor-
mance to an external sequencer or similar equip-
ment, you can use this function to send the
current PSR-E223/YPT-220 panel settings so
that when the sequence is played back the origi-
nal panel settings are automatically restored.
You can set Initial Send in the Function settings
(page 44).
