Making Settings for Receiving MIDI (MIDI)

These parameters determine how each Part will transmit and receive MIDI messages.

MIDI

Channel (MIDI Receive Channel)

Sets the MIDI receive channel for each Part.

If this is set to the same channel as the Control Channel parameter (SYSTEM/MIDI/PERFORM MIDI), attempting to use MIDI messages (Program Change and Bank Select) from an external device to select Patches will select Performances instead. If you want to select Patches, change the Control Channel parameter to a different setting (p. 169).

Rx Sw (Receive Switch)

Specifies whether each Part will receive MIDI messages (ON), or not (OFF) from external MIDI devices.

When set to OFF, the Part will respond to the keyboard, but not to the external MIDI devices. Normally, you should leave this ON, but you can turn it OFF when you do not want a specific Part to be playing during song playback.

You can also set the Rx Sw parameter on the PERFORM PLAY page. Hold down [SHIFT] and press ZONE/ PART SELECT [1/9]–[8/16]; Rx Sw is on when the indicator is lit, and off when the indicator is extinguished. When the [1-8/9-16] indicator is extinguished, Parts 1–8 are switched on and off, and when the [1-8/9-16] indicator is lit, Parts 9–16 are switched on and off (p. 38).

Mute Sw (Mute Switch)

Mute Sw temporarily mutes (MUTE) or releases the mute (OFF) for the performance of each Part.

Use this setting when, for example, you want to use the instrument for karaoke by muting the Part playing the melody, or when you want to play something using a separate sound module.

The Mute Sw parameter does not turn the Part off, but rather mutes the sound by setting the volume to 0. Therefore, MIDI messages are still received.

RxSWITCH (Receive Switch)

RxSWITCH determines whether MIDI messages for the following parameters in each MIDI channel are received (ON), or not received (OFF).

Bank Select (Receive Bank Select Switch)

Program Change

(Receive Program Change Switch)

Vol (Receive Volume Switch)

Pan (Receive Pan Switch)

Exp (Receive Expression Switch)

Hld (Receive Hold 1 Switch)

Bnd (Receive Pitch Bend Switch)

Mod (Receive Modulation Switch)

Caf (Receive Channel Aftertouch Switch)

Paf (Receive Polyphonic Aftertouch Switch)
