Transferring Performance Data To and From Another Instrument

By connecting the PSR-E313/YPT-310 to other MIDI devices or a computer, the performance data of the instrument can be used on those other MIDI devices or computer, and also the performance data from other MIDI devices and computer can be received and sounded with the PSR-E313/YPT-310.

When the instrument is connected with another MIDI device, it transmits/receives performance data.

MIDI settings

These settings should be made when transmitting/receiving performance data to a connected MIDI device or computer.

Local Settings

Local Control determines whether or not notes played on the instrument are sounded by its internal tone generator system; the internal tone generator is active when local control is on, and inactive when local control is off.

On ........ This is the normal setting in which notes played on the instru-

ment’s keyboard are sounded by the internal tone generator system. Data received via the instrument’s MIDI terminal will also be played by the internal tone generator.

Off ....... With this setting the instrument itself produces no sound

(keyboard performance, Harmony, or Style playback), but the performance data is transmitted via the MIDI terminal. Data received via the instrument’s MIDI terminal will also be played by the internal tone generator.

You can set the Local Control in the Function Settings (page 59).

NOTE

If you can’t get any sound out of the instrument, Local Control may be the most likely cause. Playing the keyboard results in no sound when Local is set to OFF.
