   Owner’s Manual

You can make detailed adjustments to MIDI settings.

In Dual mode, Voice 1 data is 
transmitted on its specified 
channel and Voice 2 data is 
transmitted on the next greater 
channel number relative to the 
specified channel. In this mode, 
no data is transmitted if the 
transmit channel is set to “OFF.”

MIDI receive channel is ALL:
A “Multi-timbre” Receive mode 
is available. In this mode, this 
instrument receives different 
parts from the connected MIDI 
device on any or all 16 MIDI 
channels and plays multi-chan-
nel song data.

MIDI receive channel is 1+2:
A “1+2” Receive mode is avail-
able. It allows simultaneous 
reception on channels 1 and 2 
only, enabling this instrument to 
play 1 and 2 channel song data 
received from a music computer 
or sequencer.

Program change and other like 
channel messages received will 
not affect this instrument’s 
panel settings or the notes you 
play on the keyboard.

Data for the demo song and 50 
piano preset songs cannot be 
transmitted via MIDI.

When Local control is turned 
OFF, the keyboard of this instru-
ment does not play the internal 
voices.

In any MIDI control setup, the MIDI channels of the transmitting and receiving equip-
ment must be matched for proper data transfer.
This parameter enables you to specify the channel on which the digital piano transmits 
or receives MIDI data.

Setting the transmit channel
While holding down the 

 and 

 buttons simultaneously, 

press one of the C1–E2 keys.

Setting the receive channel
While holding down the 

 and 

 buttons simultaneously, 

press one of the C4–F5 keys.

“Local Control” refers to the fact that, normally, the keyboard of this digital piano con-
trols its 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 of this digital piano 
does not play the internal voices, but the appropriate MIDI information is still trans-
mitted via the MIDI OUT connector when notes are played on the keyboard. At the 
same time, the internal tone generator responds to MIDI information received via the 
MIDI IN connector.

While holding down the 

 and 

 buttons simultaneously, 

press the C6 key. Pressing the C6 key repeatedly toggles between Local Control On and 
Off.
