Connecting the i40M to a MIDI keyboard
The easiest way to control the i40M is by connecting a
master keyboard. You only need to connect the MIDI
OUT connector of the keyboard to the MIDI IN 1 con-
nector of the i40M. If the master keyboard transmits
over the Global channel of the i40M, the master key-
board becomes the equivalent of the i40M integrated
keyboard.
If the keyboard transmits over the Global channel, the
split point and the status of the Keyboard Mode and
Keyboard Assign sections in the control panel will
affect the notes.
According to the factory settings, the Global channel
of the i40M is the MIDI 1 channel when the instrument
is turned on. When turned on, most of the keyboards
will transmit over this channel and therefore no pro-
gramming is usually necessary.
Connections and settings
To connect the keyboard to the i40M use this proce-
dure:
1 Connect the MIDI OUT connector of the key-
board to the MIDI IN 1 connector of the i40M.
2 Program the keyboard so that the keyboard
transmits over the Global channel of the i40M
(see “GLB (Global)” on page 139)
3 Press DISK/GLOBAL to go to the Disk/Global
mode.
4 Press the PAGE [+] button repeatedly to get to
“Page 3: MIDI Settings” (see page 136).
5 Press CURSOR> to select SETUP, then press
ENTER/YES to enter the MIDI Setup page.
6 Select the desired setup using the TEMPO/
VALUE buttons. Select the “Master keyboard”
setup and press ENTER/YES twice to confirm the
selection.
This setup is illustrated below.
Note: The settings can change when new data is
loaded from disk. To protect the settings from loading,
use the PROTECT function (see page 136).
7 Press one of the buttons in the MODE section to
go to the desired operative mode.
The MIDI “Master keyboard” Setup
You can automatically configure the i40M for the con-
nection to a MIDI keyboard by selecting the MIDI
“Master keyboard” Setup (see page 136).
This MIDI Setup will configure the i40M for the con-
nection to a master keyboard. The Keyboard Assign,
Keyboard Mode and Chord Scanning Mode sections
will affect the notes played.
The special Global channel is programmed over the
MIDI 1 channel. You can change arrangement or Key-
board Set by sending a program change message to
channel 2 (special Arrangement channel) or 3 (special
Keyboard Set channel), respectively.
The chord detection mode is determined by the status
of the Chord Recognition Mode section and the “Chor-
dRecog (Chord recognition mode)” parameter in the
Global mode (see page 147).
