Using the C-4500 as a multi-timbral tonegenerator
When the internal tone generator of the C-4500 is
controlled from an external MIDI device, it can
function as a 16-part multi-timbral tone generator.
1. Use a MIDI cable to connect the C-4500's MIDI
IN to the MIDI OUT of a sequencer etc.
2. Transmit MIDI data from the connected se-
quencer etc.
The MIDI receive channels correspond to the sound of
the C-4500 as described below.
For details on transmitting data from the connected
sequencer etc., refer to its owner's manual.
If program change messages are received together with
the musical data, the C-4500’s sounds that correspond
to the received program numbers will be used.
However, this will occur only if program changes are
enabled for the relevant MIDI channel. Program
changes and control changes can be cancelled inde-
pendently for each MIDI channel 1–16.
Local on/off setting
If you do not want the internal tone generator of the C-
4500 to sound when you play its keyboard (i.e., so that
only the external MIDI device is heard), or when you
have connected an external sequencer and do not want
the data echoed back (retransmitted) by the sequencer
to sound duplicate notes on the C-4500, you can turn
off the Local setting of the C-4500. Normally, you will
leave Local turned on, so that playing the C-4500’s
keyboard will sound its internal tone generator.
❍Hold down the [TRANSPOSE/FUNCTION]
switch, and press the [PIANO 1] sound select
switch.
The Local setting will alternate on/off each time
you press the switch.

When the power is turned on, this setting will automati-
cally be Local On.
Program changes
Program change messages can be transmitted from the
C-4500 to a connected MIDI device to select sounds,
or transmitted from a connected MIDI device to select
sounds on the C-4500.
Transmitting program changes
Program numbers on a connected external MIDI
device can be switched from the C-4500.
❍When you use the [Sound selector] switches to
switch sounds, a MIDI program change number of
0–20 will be transmitted as shown in the table on
blow.
Receiving program changes
When a program change number is received from an
external device, the C-4500 will switch timbre sounds
as shown in the following table.
MeMO
This instrument will switch sounds when it receives MIDI
program numbers 0–20. If MIDI program numbers above
21 are received from the external MIDI device, the C-4500
will not switch sounds.
