MIDI System Settings
The explanations here apply to the SYSTEM display to
be called up in step 4 of the “Basic Operation” on
page 200.

■LOCAL CONTROL

Turns the Local Control for each part on or off. When
Local Control is set to “ON,” the keyboard of the instru-
ment controls its own (local) internal tone generator,
allowing the internal voices to be played directly from the
keyboard. If you set Local to “OFF,” the keyboard and
controllers are internally disconnected from the instru-
ment’s tone generator section so that no sound is output
when you play the keyboard or use the controllers. For
example, this allows you to use an external MIDI
sequencer to play the instrument’s internal voices, and
use the instrument keyboard to record notes to the exter-
nal sequencer and/or play an external tone generator.

■Clock setting, etc.

● CLOCK
Determines whether the instrument is controlled by its
own internal clock or a MIDI clock signal received from
an external device. INTERNAL is the normal Clock setting
when the instrument is being used alone or as a master
keyboard to control external devices. If you are using the
instrument with an external sequencer, MIDI computer,
or other MIDI device, and you want to synchronize it to
that device, set this parameter to the appropriate setting:
MIDI, USB 1, or USB 2. In this case, make sure that the
external device is connected properly (e.g., to the instru-
ment’s MIDI IN terminal), and that it is properly transmit-
ting a MIDI clock signal. When this is set for control by
an external device (MIDI, USB 1 or USB 2), the Tempo is
indicated as “Ext.” in the Main display.
● TRANSMIT CLOCK
Turns MIDI clock (F8) transmission on or off. When set
to OFF, no MIDI clock or Start/Stop data is transmitted
even if a Song or Style is played back.
● RECEIVE TRANSPOSE
Determines whether or not the instrument's transpose
setting (page 58) is applied to the note events received
by the instrument via MIDI.
● START/STOP
Determines whether incoming FA (start) and FC (stop)
messages affect Song or Style playback.

■MESSAGE SW

● SYS/EX.
The “Tx” setting turns MIDI transmission of MIDI Sys-
tem Exclusive messages on or off. The “Rx” setting turns
MIDI reception and recognition of MIDI System Exclu-
sive messages generated by external equipment on or
off.
● CHORD SYS/EX.
The “Tx” setting turns MIDI transmission of MIDI chord
exclusive data (chord detect. root and type) on or off.
The “Rx” setting turns MIDI reception and recognition
of MIDI chord exclusive data generated by external
equipment on or off.
MIDI Transmit Settings
The explanations here apply to the TRANSMIT display
to be called up in step 4 of the “Basic Operation” on
page 200. This determines which parts will be sent as
MIDI data and over which MIDI channel the data will
be sent.
Operation
Select the part to be transmitted and the channel via
which the selected part will be transmitted. You can also
determine the types of data to be sent.
●With the exception of the two parts below, the
configuration of the parts is the same as those
already explained elsewhere in this manual.
• UPPER
The keyboard part played on the right side of the key-
board from the Split Point for the Voices (RIGHT1 and/
or 2).
• LOWER
The keyboard part played on the left side of the keyboard
from the Split Point for the Voices. This is not affected by
the on/off status of the [ACMP ON/OFF] button.
●Tx MONITOR
The dots corresponding to each channel (1–16) flash
briefly whenever any data is transmitted on the chan-
nel(s).
