● TRANSMIT CHANNEL Main/Sub (Off, 1 ~ 16)
This determines the MIDI channel over which MIDI data is sent.
For the Split mode, the main and sub voices can be set to
separate channels. For the Single and Dual modes, all MIDI data
is sent over the specified Main channel (the Sub channel setting
does not apply). When set to Off, no MIDI data is sent for the
selected voice.
● RECEIVE CHANNEL Main/Sub (Off, 1 ~ 16, All)
This determines the MIDI channel over which MIDI data is
received. For the Split mode, the main and sub voices can be set
to separate channels. For the Single and Dual modes, all MIDI
data is received over the specified Main channel (the Sub channel
setting does not apply). When set to Off, all incoming MIDI data
for the selected voice is ignored. When set to All, all incoming
MIDI data over all 16 channels is received.
When you set the transmit channel to Off, the MIDI transmit button will be
disabled for the currently selected Performance.
If you select Sys for MIDI CHANNEL in the Performance Enable function
(System menu), the MIDI transmit/receive channel you have previously set
for the currently selected Performance may actually be different, since the
current setting (System setting) in the Voice Play mode will be active. You
can change the System setting, and you can easily find which setting (Sys
or Perf) is selected in the Performance Enable function, as the letter P will
display to the left of the page number if Perf is selected.
■LocalThe Local control function lets you disconnect the P-200’s
keyboard from its internal tone generator.
It is usually turned on so the internal voices will sound when
you play the keyboard. When turned off, the internal tone
generator will not respond to the notes you play, but the
keyboard will still transmit messages via the [MIDI OUT]
terminal, and the internal tone generator will respond to
messages received at the [MIDI IN] terminal if the transmit
channels or receive channels are appropriately set. This is
essential when using the P-200 as a master keyboard
controller in an expanded MIDI system.

● LOCAL (On, Off)
When set to On, the internal tone generator will respond to notes
you play on the P-200’s keyboard. When set to Off, the internal
tone generator will not respond to notes you play on the P-200’s
keyboard.
If you select Sys for LOCAL in the Performance Enable function (System
menu), the Local On/Off setting you have designated previously for the
currently selected Performance may actually be different, since the current
setting (System setting) in the Voice Play mode will be active. You can
change the System setting, and you can easily find which setting (Sys or
Perf) is selected in the Performance Enable function, as the letter P will
display to the left of the page number if Perf is selected.
■Continuous Slider (CS) / Foot Controller (FC)This function lets you assign a function and range to the [CS]
and [FC] assignable continuous controllers, for realtime control
during performance of the P-200 and/or an external MIDI
device.
Once you assign a function to the [CS], the function will be
controlled by the [CS] slider on the panel. Once you assign a
function to the [FC], the function will be controlled by the Foot
Controller, if it is properly connected to the [FOOT
CONTROLLER] jack on the rear panel. The Yamaha FC-7 Foot
Controller (continuous type) and FC4/FC5 Footswitch (on/off;
discrete type) are optionally available.
For example, you can have the [CS] (or [FC]) control the total
volume, main or sub voice volume, or control the reverb depth
or modulation speed, or transmit aftertouch messages to tone
generators capable of receiving them, or send a particular type
of control change message to external MIDI devices. The
types of functions which can be assigned, and a brief
explanation of each, are shown in the following chart.
