F8.5: Control Change ON/OFF .......................................................................

Normally the P-120/P-120S will respond to MIDI control change data received from an external 

MIDI device or keyboard, causing the voice on the corresponding channel to be affected by pedal 
and other “control” settings received from the controlling device (the keyboard voice is not affected). 
The P-120/P-120S also transmits MIDI control change information when the pedal or other appro-
priate controls are operated.

This function makes it possible to cancel control change data reception and transmission so that, 

for example, the P-120/P-120S’s pedal and other controls can be operated without affecting an exter-
nal MIDI device.

Use the [–/NO

▼] and [+/YES▲] buttons to turn control change transmission and reception “On” 

or “OFF”. 

Press the [–/NO

▼] and [+/YES▲] buttons simultaneously to recall the default setting “On”.

F8.6:  MIDI Transmit Transpose .......................................................................

This function allows the MIDI note data transmitted by the P-120/P-120S to be transposed up or 

down in semitone increments by up to plus or minus 12 semitones. The pitch of the P-120/P-120S 
itself is not affected.

Use the [–/NO

▼] and [+/YES▲] buttons to set the desired amount of MIDI transmit transposi-

tion. The range is from “–12” (down one octave) through “0” (no transposition) to “12” (up one 
octave). 

Press the [–/NO

▼] and [+/YES▲] buttons simultaneously to recall the default setting “0”.

F8.7: Panel/Status Transmit............................................................................

This function causes all the current P-120/P-120S panel settings (selected voice, etc.) to be trans-

mitted via the MIDI OUT terminal. This is particularly useful if you will be recording performances 
to a MIDI sequence recorder such as the Yamaha MIDI Data Filer MDF3 which will be used to con-
trol the P-120/P-120S on playback. By transmitting the P-120/P-120S panel settings and recording 
them on the MIDI sequence recorder prior to the actual performance data, the P-120/P-120S will be 
automatically restored to the same settings when the performance is played back. 

Press the [+/YES

▲] button to transmit the panel/status data. “End” will appear on the LED dis-

play when the data has been successfully transmitted.

• See page 51 for list of the “Panel Data Contents” transmitted by this function.

F8.8: Bulk Data Dump .....................................................................................

This function is used to transmit all data stored in the User Song Recorder memory to a MIDI data 

storage device such as the Yamaha MIDI Data Filer MDF3, other sequence recorders, or MIDI com-
patible computers.

Press the [+/YES

▲] button to begin bulk transmission. “End” will appear on the LED display 

when the data has been successfully transmitted.
