Sending and Receiving MIDI Mes-

sages

This keyboard can send notes you play on the keyboard, as well as auto accompaniment patterns and Song Memory playback as MIDI messages to another device.

MIDI Send Data

■Keyboard Play

Each keyboard part (Channels 1 through 4) is sent over its own individual MIDI channel. When Auto Harmonize is turned on, harmonize notes are also sent over each individual MIDI channel.

■Auto Accompaniment Play

Each accompaniment part is sent over its own individual MIDI channel. The “Accomp MIDI Out” parameter (page E- 65) is used to specify whether a part is sent.

MIDI Message Receive

■Multi Channel Receive

The 16 mixer parts can be used to receive data over 16 MIDI message channels at the same time.

■Chord Changes when Using Auto Accompani- ment

MIDI messages received from an external device can be interpreted as chord changes as specified by the fingerings supported by the auto accompaniment system of this keyboard. Use the “MIDI In Chord Judge” parameter (page E-65) to turn this capability on and off.

•See the MIDI Implementation Chart at the back of this Us- er’s Guide for more information about each MIDI message.
