“Keyboard”

Receive channel functions

Use this when you wish to use an exter- nal device to control the SP-500 via MIDI with the same operation as the SP-500’s own keyboard. If [LAYER] or [SPLIT] is on, note events will be sounded in the same way as when the SP-500’s own key- board is used. However, program changes will not be received.

When [DEMO] is selected, it is not possible to play the keyboard sound from an external device. The default sounds for MIDI channels 1–16 will be the sounds of the demo song.

Transmit channel functions

When the [DEMO] switch is lit, your per- formance on the keyboard will be trans- mitted on this channel.

When you use Recorder Tracks, please select “Keyboard” Channel 1.

❍The following channel settings are valid when the [DEMO] switch is dark.

“Upper 1”

Receive channel functions

When MIDI note events of this channel are received, the Upper 1 sound will be heard.

Transmit channel functions Performance data from the keyboard will be transmitted on this channel.

If the [SPLIT] switch is on, notes will be output only for the Upper 1 range.

If this is set to the same channel as “Keyboard,” program changes will not be received.

“Low/Upp2”

Receive channel functions

When MIDI note events of this channel are received, the Upper2 sound will be played if the [LAYER] switch is on, or the “Lower” sound will be played if the [SPLIT] switch is on.

Transmit channel functions

When the [SPLIT] switch is on, only the notes of the Lower range will be output on this channel.

If this is set to the same channel as “Keyboard” or “Upp1,” program changes will not be received.

“Drum,” “Perc,” “Bass,” “Acc1,” “Acc2,” “Acc3”

Receive channel functions

When MIDI note events of this channel are received, the corresponding auto- matic accompaniment part will be played.

Transmit channel functions

The performance data of each automatic accompaniment part will be output on this channel.

Recorder Track 1–Track 5 are fixed at MIDI channels 2–6.

To write settings into internal memory

In the “Func 7/10” page, execute “Write.” If you turn off the power without writing, the previous settings will reappear.

To return to the previous display

If you press the [EXIT] switch or the [FUNCTION] switch, the [FUNCTION] switch indicator will go dark, and you will return to the previous LCD screen.

Using the SP-500 as a multi-tim- bral tone generator

The SP-500 can function as a multi-timbral tone generator that can be played from an external MIDI device.

When the [DEMO] switch is on, the SP-500 will function as a 16-timbre GM tone generator.

It is not possible to set the MIDI channel. While the demo plays, the sounds will change accord- ing to the demo data.

Local on/off setting

If you wish to use the SP-500’s keyboard to trigger an external MIDI tone generator without hearing the internal tone generator, or if the SP-500 is con- nected to a sequencer with an Echo Back setting (that re-transmits the incoming data) and need to prevent notes from being heard in duplicate, you can set the SP-500 to Local Off. Normally you will leave this set to Local On so that when playing the SP-500’s keyboard will hear its own internal tone generator.
