Setting the MIDI Out Mode

By setting the MIDI Out Mode, you can select to have a more suitable (to the external MIDI device) selection of MIDI data be output from the MIDI Out connector when you make tone changes on the FP-5.

Four settings for the MIDI Out Mode are available.

“MIDI Out Mode 1” is the power-up default setting.

Indication	Descriptions
1	MIDI Out Mode 1
	This setting is suitable for the connection of
	sequencers. The MIDI information (for exam-
	ple: Bank select, Program Change, Settings of
	Effects, and so on) is output from the MIDI
	Out connector when you make a tone change
	on the FP-5.
2	MIDI Out Mode 2
	This setting is suited for connecting to a sound
	module. The MIDI information (for example:
	Bank select) is not output from the MIDI Out
	connector when you make a tone change on
	the FP-5.
3	MIDI Out Mode 3
	You can transmit performance data recorded
	with the FP-5.
	Additionally, the MIDI messages that are out-
	put have the same content as those in MIDI
	Out Mode 1.
4	MIDI Out Mode 4
	The MIDI messages that are output have the
	same content as those in MIDI Out Mode 3.
	However, these are not transmit to FP-5’s
	sound module.
	Additionally, the local control is switched to
	off (p. 50).
