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

MIDI Receive Settings
The explanations here apply to the RECEIVE display to
be called up in step 4 of the “Basic Operation” on
page 204. 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-S900/S700 can receive MIDI messages
over 32 channels (16 channels x 2 ports) by USB
connection.
●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-S900/S700 can
be used as a 32-channel multi-timbral tone generator
by using these five parts in addition to the general
parts (except for the microphone sound).
●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 137).
■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:
