MIDI Send Channel Settings

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.

Select the transmission channel (1–16) of the FP-3.

When the instrument is turned on, this is set to Channel “1.” The FP-3 receives messages on all channels, 1–16.

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

*When a Drum Set Tone is assigned to the keyboard, the transmission channel is fixed at “10.”

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.”
