Optimus MD-1600 Manual Do Utilizador

42

To send MIDI data from your keyboard,
use a MIDI cable to connect the MD-
1600’s 

 terminal to the other

device’s MIDI IN terminal.

To receive MIDI data on your keyboard,
use a MIDI cable to connect the MD-
1600’s 

 terminal to the other de-

vice’s MIDI OUT terminal.

Note: You do not need to make both
connections if you are only either send-
ing or receiving.

Your MD-1600 can send and receive
several different types of MIDI data. The
MD-1600’s tones, rhythms, and other
types of MIDI data are sent automatical-
ly as you play.

• The MD-1600’s demonstration

tunes cannot be sent as MIDI data.

• For detailed specifications of the

MIDI function, see the “MIDI Imple-
mentation Chart” on Page 58.

Note On/Off specifies which keys are
pressed (Note On) or released (Note
Off). Also includes how loud a note is
played as a value from 0 to 127. 

• The pitch of a note depends on the

tone that is being used, as shown in
the “Note Table” on Page 52.

• If the keyboard receives a “request”

to play notes outside of its range
(higher or lower), it automatically
selects the same note in the nearest
octave.

Program Change specifies the tone.

Pitch Bend supplies pitch bend infor-
mation. A Pitch Bend operation on this
keyboard changes the pitch of the built-
in sound source and sends a Pitch Bend
message through the 

 terminal.

Control Change adds effects such as
vibrato and volume changes applied
during keyboard play. The message in-
cludes a control number (the effect type)
and a control value (the on/off and depth
of the effect). 

Here is the data that can be sent and re-
ceived with this keyboard and the corre-
sponding control number.
