Template name Description
All Parts Transmits all parts including the keyboard parts (RIGHT 1, 2, and LEFT), with the
exception of Song parts.
KBD & STYLE Basically the same as “All Parts” with the exception of how keyboard parts are man-
aged. The right-hand parts are handled as “UPPER” instead of RIGHT 1 and 2 and the
left-hand part is handled as “LOWER.”
Master KBD In this setting, the instrument functions as a “master” keyboard, playing and controlling
one or more connected tone generators or other devices (such as a computer/
sequencer).
Song All transmit channels are set to correspond to Song channels 1–16. This is used to play
Song data with an external tone generator and to record Song data to an external
sequencer.
Clock Ext Playback (Song or Style) synchronizes with an external MIDI clock instead of the instru-
ment’s internal clock. This template should be used when you wish to set the tempo on
the MIDI device connected to the instrument.
MIDI Accord 1 MIDI accordions allow you to transmit MIDI data and play connected tone generators
from the keyboard and bass/chord buttons of the accordion. This template lets you play
melodies from the keyboard and control Style playback on the instrument with the left-
hand buttons.
MIDI Accord 2 Basically the same as “MIDI Accord 1” above, with the exception that the chord/bass
notes you play with your left hand on the MIDI Accordion are recognized also as MIDI
note events.
MIDI Pedal 1 MIDI pedal units allow you play connected tone generators with your feet (especially
convenient for playing single note bass parts). This template lets you play/control the
chord root in Style playback with a MIDI pedal unit.
MIDI Pedal 2 This template lets you play the bass part for Style playback by using a MIDI pedal unit.
MIDI OFF No MIDI signals are sent or received.
