For more information about MIDI, see the

“About MIDI” section (page 47).

F8.1: MIDI Transmit Channel Selection

In any MIDI control setup, the MIDI channels of the

transmitting and receiving devices must be matched for

proper data transfer.

This parameter enables you to specify the channel on

which the P-140 transmits MIDI data.

Setting range: 1 – 16, OFF (not transmitted)

Default setting: 1

F8.2: MIDI Receive Channel Selection

In any MIDI control setup, the MIDI channels of the

transmitting and receiving devices must be matched for

proper data transfer. This parameter enables you to spec-

ify the channel on which the P-140 receives MIDI data.

Setting range: ALL, 1&2, 1 – 16

Default setting: ALL

F8.3: Local Control ON/OFF

“Local Control” refers to the fact that, normally, the P-

140 keyboard controls its internal tone generator, allow-

ing the internal voices to be played directly from the key-

board. This situation is “Local Control On,” since the

internal tone generator is controlled locally by its own

keyboard.

Local control can be turned OFF, however, so that the P-

140 keyboard does not play the internal voices, but the

appropriate MIDI information is still transmitted via the

MIDI OUT terminal when notes are played on the key-

board. At the same time, the internal tone generator

responds to MIDI information received via the MIDI IN

terminal.

Setting range: ON/OFF

Default setting: ON

SHORTCUT:

You can jump directly to the metronome functions by

F8. MIDI Functions

NOTE

•In Dual, Voice 1 data is transmitted on its speciﬁed channel. In

Split, right voice data is transmitted on its speciﬁed channel. In

Dual, Voice 2 data is transmitted on the next greater channel

number relative to the speciﬁed channel. In Split, left voice

data is transmitted on the next greater channel number relative

to the speciﬁed channel. In either case, no data is transmitted

if the transmit channel is set to “OFF.”

•Song data is not transmitted via the MIDI connections. How-

ever, channels 3-16 of External songs will be transmitted via

the MIDI connections depending on the Song Channel Selec-

tion setting (page 43).

• ALL:

“Multi-timbre” Receive. This allows simultaneous reception of

different parts on all 16 MIDI channels, enabling the P-140 to

play multi-channel song data received from a music computer

or sequencer.

1&2:

“1&2” Receive. This allows simultaneous reception on chan-

nels 1 and 2 only, enabling the P-140 to play 1 and 2 channel

song data received from a music computer or sequencer.

•Program change and other like channel messages received

will not affect the P-140’s panel settings or the notes you play

on the keyboard.
