General MIDI

As we have already seen, MIDI makes it possible to exchange musical data between devices produced by different manufacturers. This musical data does not consist of the notes themselves, but rather information on whether a keyboard key is pressed or released, and the tone number.

If tone number 1 on a keyboard produced by Company A is PIANO while tone number 1 on a Company B's keyboard is BASS, for example, sending data from Company A's keyboard to Company B's keyboard produces a result entirely different from the original. If a computer, sequencer or other device with auto accompaniment capabilities is used to produce music data for the Company A keyboard which has 16 parts (16 channels) and then that data is sent to the Company B keyboard which can receive only 10 parts (10 channels), the parts that cannot be played will not be heard.

The standard for the tone numbering sequence, the number of pads, and other general factors that determine the sound source configuration, which was arrived at by mutual consultations by manufacturers, is called General MIDI.

The General MIDI standard defines the tone numbering sequence, the drum sound numbering sequence, the number of MIDI channels that can be used, and other general factors that determine the sound source configuration. Because of this, musical data produced on a General MIDI sound source can be played back using similar tones and identical nuances as the original, even when played on another manufacturers sound source.

This keyboard conforms with General MIDI standards, so it can be connected to a computer or other device and used to play back General MIDI data that has been purchased, downloaded from the Internet, or obtained from any other source.

Changing MIDI Settings

You can use this keyboard in combination with an external sequencer, synthesizer, or other MIDI device to play along with commercially available General MIDI software. This section tells you how to make the MIDI settings required when connecting to an external device.

SETTING Button

Each press of the SETTING button cycles through a total of 11 setting screens: the touch response screen, the accompaniment screen, the tuning screen, and 8 MIDI setting screens. If you accidentally pass the screen you want to use, keep pressing the SETTING button until the screen appears again. Also note that leaving a setting screen is automatically cleared from the display if you do not perform any operation for about five seconds.
