General MIDI

The General MIDI System is a set of specifications for sound generating devices agreed upon by world MIDI manufacturers. These specifications were developed to allow the creation of music data that is not limited to specific equipment makers and models. Among other things, General MIDI defines the tone number sequence and the number of MIDI channels that can be used. Any device equipped with a sound source that supports General MIDI is able to produce sounds of similar nuances, regardless of the manufacturer or model.

The Type 2 program change numbers of this digital piano assign program numbers to tones so they comply with the General MIDI System.

Type 2 program change numbers make it possible to receive General MIDI System data from a connected sequencer or other device, and play it using the digital piano’s tones. Tone switching is performed only when a program number that corresponds to any of the digital piano’s non-bass tones is received. No tone switching is performed when any other program number is received.

The table on page E-23 shows the program number assignments for Type 1 and Type 2.

Turning Local Control On and Off

Local Control

When Local Control is on (the normal setting), anything played on the keyboard is sounded by the internal sound source and simultaneously output from the MIDI OUT terminal. When off, anything played on the keyboard is output from the MIDI OUT terminal only, without being sounded by the sound source.

Local Control can be turned off when you are using the digital piano as the sound source of a connected sequencer or other device, and you want to guard against sound being produced should the digital piano keyboard be pressed accidentally.

To turn Local Control on and off

While still holding down the CONTROL button, switch Local Control on and off by pressing one of the keyboard keys illustrated below.
