Connecting to MIDI Devices

Turning Transmission and

Reception of Control

Changes On/Off

Messages known as “Control Changes” are used to convey to another device information about the instances where you have pressed a pedal, or have turned On/Off the Chorus or Reverb effects.

Each time the power is turned on, the instrument will always be set to “On” (it will transmit/receive all Control Change messages).

If you set it to “Off” the pt-2700 will no longer send or receive any Control Change messages.

While holding down the [GRAND PIANO] button, [UPRIGHT PIANO] button, and [STRINGS] button, press the “A5” note to turn the setting On, or the “B5” note to turn the setting Off.

Hold down the [GRAND PIANO] button, the [UPRIGHT PIANO] button, and the [STRINGS] button, and press the “D6” note to turn the setting On, or the “E6” note to turn the setting Off.
