Local Control On settings
When connections are made as shown above, turn on the
Echo Back function of the external MIDI sequencer or com-
puter (so that data received at MIDI IN will be re-transmit-
ted from MIDI OUT), and turn off this instrument’s Local
Control setting (so that this instrument’s keyboard and tone
generator will be internally disconnected). When you play
the keyboard of this instrument, the musical data will be
transmitted to the external MIDI sequencer or computer,
and then echoed back to play this instrument’s tone genera-
tor. In other words, by turning Local Control OFF, you can
prevent notes from being sounded in duplicate, as would
otherwise occur if a note were sounded by tthis instrument’s
own keyboard and again by the data that was echoed-back.
If the KARMA function is on, playing this instrument’s key-
board will not cause the KARMA function to operate, and
only the musical data produced by playing the keyboard
will be transmitted. The KARMA function will operate only
in response to the notes that are echoed-back and received at
MIDI IN. In this way, turning off Local Control prevents the
KARMA function from operating in duplicate.
Use this setting when you wish to record on the external
MIDI sequencer or computer only the notes that trigger the
KARMA function, and to use the echoed-back notes to
operate the
KARMA function while monitoring your
recording or during playback.
If you want the note data produced by the
KARMA
function
to be recorded on the external sequencer/
computer, set Local Control on, and turn off the Echo
Back setting of the external sequencer/computer.
To turn off Local Control, the “Local Control On” (GLOBAL
2.1–1a) check box to uncheck it (☞p.137).
When using this instrument by itself, leave Local Control
turned on. (If this is off when this instrument is used by
itself, playing the keyboard will not produce sound.)
■ Messages transmitted and received
by this instrument
[...] indicates hexadecimal notation
MIDI channels
MIDI messages can be exchanged when the transmitting
and receiving devices are set to the same MIDI channel.
MIDI uses sixteen channels, numbered 1–16. The way in
which channels are handled will differ depending on the
mode.
Program mode
• Transmission/reception is performed on the global
MIDI channel*.
* The global MIDI channel is the basic channel that this
instrument uses for MIDI transmission/reception, and is
set by “MIDI Channel” (GLOBAL 2.1–1a).
Combination mode
• The global MIDI channel is used to transmit/receive
messages for selecting a combination and turning effects
on/off, and to transmit/receive exclusive data.
• The MIDI channel specified for each timbre (in COMBI
3.3–1a) is used to transmit/receive MIDI data for each
timbre.
• The MIDI channel specified for each of the insert effects
and master effects (in MIDI channel “Control Ch
(control Channel)” (COMBI 7.2–1b, 7.3–1a, 7.3–1d)) is
used to control dynamic modulation, and to control the
pan and send 1/2 after the sound has passed through
the insert effects.
• MIDI data for KARMA modules [A][B][C][D] is
transmitted and received on the “Input Channel” and
“Output Channel” (COMBI 6.1–2a) specified for each
module.
• When you operate the keyboard or controllers of this
instrument, messages will be transmitted on the global
MIDI channel, and will also be transmitted on the MIDI
channel of any timbre whose “Status” (COMBI 3.1–1a)
is set to EXT or EX2.
• Channel messages will be received if they match the
MIDI channel of a timbre whose “Status” is set to INT
(☞p.49 “Status” and “MIDI Channel”).
Sequencer mode, Song Play mode
• The global MIDI channel is used to transmit/receive
exclusive data and for messages that switch effects on/
off.
• MIDI data of each track is transmitted/received on the
MIDI channel specified for each track (In Sequencer
mode, this will be the settings of SEQ 3.1–1/2a. In Song
Play mode, the channels are fixed.)
• The MIDI channel specified for each of the insert effects
and master effects (in SEQ/S.PLAY 7.2–1b, 7.3–1a, 7.3–
1c) is used to control dynamic modulation, and to
control the pan and send 1/2 after the sound has passed
through the insert effects.
• MIDI data for KARMA modules [A][B][C][D] is
transmitted and received on the “Input Channel” and
“Output Channel” (SEQ/S.PLAY 6.1–2a) specified for
each module.
• When you operate the keyboard or controllers of this
instrument, messages will be transmitted on the MIDI
channel selected by “Track Select” (SEQ/S.PLAY 6.1–
2a). However, messages will be transmitted only if the
track selected by “Track Select” has a “Status” of BTH,
EXT, or EX2. ( ☞p.74 “Track Select”–“MIDI”)
• When Sequencer is played back, musical data of tracks
whose “Status” is BTH, EXT, or EX2 will be transmitted
on the specified MIDI channels.
• Tracks whose “Status” (MULTI 3.1–1a/2a) is INT or
BTH will receive channel messages of the matching
MIDI channel (
☞p.82, p.120 “Status” and “MIDI
Channel”).
Note on/off
Note-on [9n, kk, vv]
Note-off [8n, kk, vv]
(n: channel, kk: note number, vv: velocity)
This instrument can receive note-on/off messages to sound
its tone generator. When you press a [CHORD TRIGGER]
key, note-on/off data for the specified chord will be trans-
mitted. (☞BG p.26 “Performing with the KARMA func-
tion”)
When the KARMA function is running, the KARMA func-
tion will transmit note-on/off messages. When Local Con-
trol is Off, note-on/off data from the KARMA function will
not be transmitted. (☞p.137)
Most devices do not transmit or receive note-off velocity,
and this instrument does not transmit or receive this data
either.
