What is a Sequencer?

A sequencer is a device that records the stream of MIDI messages that is sent out by an instrument. These messages convey all the details of what has occurred while the instrument is played; including the timing of notes, their sound, the force used to play them, and for how long. Afterwards, you can send the recorded MIDI information back to the instrument, and it will play automatically.

What is a MIDI Sound Module?

Inside a synthesizer or electronic piano is the section that actually produces sound, known as the sound module. A MIDI sound module produces sounds as the result of MIDI messages sent to it by other devices.

MIDI Settings

MIDI Send Channel Settings

Select the transmission channel of FP-5.

MIDI features sixteen MIDI channels, numbered 1–16. Simply connecting a cable is not enough for communication to take place. The connected devices must be set to use the same MIDI channels. Otherwise, no sound will be produced, and no sounds can be selected.

When the instrument is turned on, this is set to Channel “1.” The FP-5 receives messages on all channels, 1–16.

*When the keyboard is in dual play, the channel you’ve set here is transmitted.

*When the keyboard is split into left and right sides, the transmission channel for messages from the left-hand side is fixed at “3.”

1.Switch to Function mode(p. 42), and press the

[Rec] button.

2.Press the [-] or [+] button to select the

transmission channel.

Select the transmission channel (1–16) of the FP-5.

Switching Local Control On and Off

When connecting a MIDI sequencer, set Local Control to “Off.”

When the instrument is turned on, this is set to “On.”

As illustrated, information describing what has been played on the keyboard is passed to the internal sound generator over two different routes, (1) and (2). As a result, you hear overlapping or intermittent sounds. To prevent this from happening, route (1) must be severed, by setting the unit to what is known as “Local Off.”
