To send MIDI data from your keyboard, use a MIDI cable to connect the MD- 1600’s MIDI OUT terminal to the other device’s MIDI IN terminal.

To receive MIDI data on your keyboard, use a MIDI cable to connect the MD- 1600’s MIDI IN terminal to the other de- vice’s MIDI OUT terminal.

Note: You do not need to make both connections if you are only either send- ing or receiving.

MIDI DATA

Your MD-1600 can send and receive several different types of MIDI data. The MD-1600’s tones, rhythms, and other types of MIDI data are sent automatical- ly as you play.

Notes:

•The MD-1600’s demonstration tunes cannot be sent as MIDI data.

•For detailed specifications of the MIDI function, see the “MIDI Imple- mentation Chart” on Page 58.

Note On/Off specifies which keys are pressed (Note On) or released (Note Off). Also includes how loud a note is played as a value from 0 to 127.

Notes:

•The pitch of a note depends on the tone that is being used, as shown in the “Note Table” on Page 52.

•If the keyboard receives a “request” to play notes outside of its range (higher or lower), it automatically selects the same note in the nearest octave.

Program Change specifies the tone.

Pitch Bend supplies pitch bend infor- mation. A Pitch Bend operation on this keyboard changes the pitch of the built- in sound source and sends a Pitch Bend message through the MIDI OUT terminal.

Control Change adds effects such as vibrato and volume changes applied during keyboard play. The message in- cludes a control number (the effect type) and a control value (the on/off and depth of the effect).

Here is the data that can be sent and re- ceived with this keyboard and the corre- sponding control number.
