MIDI Functions

●Receive Mode

The “Rcv.Mod” function specifies the receive mode for the channel selected via the Receive Channel function, above. The receive mode settings are as follows:

norRcv.Mod

nor “Normal”. Received MIDI data is sent directly to the PSR-530 tone generator. If all channels are set to “nor”, the PSR-530 functions as a 16-channel multi-timbral tone generator.

oFF

No MIDI data is received on channels set to “oFF”.

rE “Remote”. Received MIDI data is handled in the same way as data generated by the PSR-530’s own keyboard. In other words, a remote keyboard could be used to control the PSR-530 AUTO ACCOMPANIMENT functions, etc.

•MIDI receive mode settings will be retained even after turning the power off. See page 98 for the details.

•The initial default setting for all channels is “nor.”

•In the Record mode, the Re- ceive mode settings cannot be set.

■Local Control

“Local Control” refers to the fact that, normally, the PSR-530 keyboard controls the internal tone generator, allowing the internal voices to be played directly from the keyboard. 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 keyboard does not play the internal voices, but the appropriate MIDI information is still transmitted via the MIDI OUT connector when notes are played on the keyboard. At the same time, the internal tone generator can respond to MIDI information received on channels set to the “nor” (normal) mode via the MIDI IN connector. This means that while an external MIDI sequencer, for example, plays the PSR-530 internal voices, an external tone generator can be played from the PSR-530 keyboard. The default Local Control setting is “on”.

■Clock

Reception of an external MIDI clock signal can be enabled or disabled as required. When disabled (“off”), all of the time-based functions (Auto Accom- paniment, SONG recording and playback, etc.) are controlled by its own internal clock. When MIDI clock reception is enabled (“on”), however, all timing is controlled by an external MIDI clock signal received via the MIDI IN terminal (in this case the PSR-530 TEMPO setting has no effect). The default setting is “off”.

oFFExtClock

•Clock is “off” be default when the power is initially turnd on.

•When Clock is turned “on”,

AUTO ACCOMPANIMENT playback cannot be started via the panel [START/STOP] but- ton, or started via the synchro start function. Also, the MULTI PAD playback cannot be initi- ated by pressing the MULT PADs.

•When External Clock is turned “On”, “EC” will appear on the TEMPO display, and tempo cannot be changed with the panel button.
