MIDI Settings

Tx MONITOR

The dots corresponding to each channel (1-16) flash briefly whenever any data is transmitted on the chan- nel(s).

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 connected MIDI device.

RECEIVE display

MIDI Receive Settings

The explanations here apply to the RECEIVE display to be called up in step 4 of the “Basic Operation” on page 177. 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 PSR-OR700 can receive MIDI messages over 32 channels (16 channels x 2 ports) by USB con- nection.

With the exception of the next two parts, 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 PSR-OR700 can be used as a 32-channel multi-timbral tone generator by using these five parts in addition to the general parts.

Rx MONITOR

The dots corresponding to each channel (1–16) flash briefly whenever any data is received on the channel(s).

Parameter Lock

You can “lock” specific parameters (e.g., effect, split point, etc.) to make them selectable only via the panel controls (page 133).

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:
