Synchronization....................................................................................................

MIDI
SYNC.
Settings: INT. (internal clock),
EXT. (external clock)
Basic setting: INT.
The playback tempo of a song or style is normally controlled by the
Clavinova’s internal clock. When you want the Clavinova’s playback
tempo to be controlled by an external sequencer or rhythm machine, you
should set the synchronization function to use an external clock. You
might use this function, for example, to play the Auto Accompaniment of
the Clavinova in perfect synchronization with an external sequencer.
To switch the synchronization from an internal clock to an external
clock (or vice versa), press the SYNC. button. The data dial and the [–]
and [+] buttons cannot be used.

MIDI Filter.................................................................................................................

The FUNCTION [MIDI 2] display contains MIDI filter settings that
can be used to enable or prevent the transmission and reception of certain
types of MIDI data.

Program Change Messages
PROGRAM
Settings: Tx&Rx (transmitted/received),
OFF
Basic setting: Tx&Rx
Normally the Clavinova will respond to MIDI program change num-
bers received from an external keyboard or another MIDI device. For
example, the Clavinova can change voices in response to MIDI program
change messages received from a connected MIDI sequencer. (These
messages do not affect the keyboard-played voices.) The voices of con-
nected external MIDI devices can also be changed by program change
messages transmitted from the Clavinova. (Program change messages
are transmitted when changing voices on the panel of the Clavinova.)
Depending on your particular MIDI setup, you may find that this fea-
ture is convenient in some cases and not in others. Set the PROGRAM
function to OFF to disable the transmission and reception of program
change messages.
Bank MSB and LSB messages can be
transmitted and received even when
PROGRAM is set to OFF.
