When different parts are assigned to the same transmit channel
If the same transmit channel is assigned to several different parts,
the transmitted MIDI messages are merged to a single channel—
resulting in unexpected sounds and possible glitches in the con-
nected MIDI device.

About the protected Songs
Write-protected Songs cannot be transmitted even if the proper

MIDI Receive Settings

The explanations here apply to the RECEIVE display to be

called up in step 4 of the “Basic Operation” on page 200.

This determines which parts will receive MIDI data and

over which MIDI channels the data will be received.

Operation
Select the channel to be received and the part via which
the selected channel will be received. You can also
determine the types of data to be received.
●The instrument can receive MIDI messages over
32 channels (16 channels x 2 ports) by USB con-
nection.
●With the exception of the two parts below, the
configuration of the parts is the same as those
already explained elsewhere in this manual.
• KEYBOARD
The received note messages control the instrument’s
keyboard performance.
• EXTRA PART 1–5
There are five parts specially reserved for receiving
and playing MIDI data. Normally, these parts are not
used by the instrument itself. The instrument can be
used as a 32-channel multi-timbral tone generator by
using these five parts in addition to the general parts
(except for the microphone sound).
●Rx MONITOR
The dots corresponding to each channel (1–16) flash
briefly whenever any data is received on the channel(s).
nParameter Lock
You can “lock” specific parameters (e.g., effect, split
point, etc.) to make them selectable only via the panel
controls (page 132).

■MIDI transmission/reception via the USB ter-

minal and MIDI terminals

The relationship between the [MIDI] terminals and the
[USB] terminal which can be used for transmitting/
receiving 32 channels (16 channels x 2 ports) of the
MIDI messages is as follows:
Setting the Bass Note for Style Playback via MIDI Receive
The explanations here apply to the BASS display to be
called up in step 4 of the “Basic Operation” on
page 200.
These settings let you determine the bass note for Style
playback, based on the note messages received via
MIDI. The note on/off messages received at the chan-
nel(s) set to “ON” are recognized as the bass note of the
chord of Style playback. The bass note will be detected
regardless of the [ACMP ON/OFF] or split point set-
tings. When several channels are simultaneously set to
“ON,” the bass note is detected from merged MIDI data
received over the channels.
Operation
Select the channel and set the “ON/OFF” for that chan-
nel. Use the All OFF item to set all channels to OFF.
