CHANGING MIDI
SETTINGS
The keyboard lets you change two MIDI
parameters, Tone Map and Keyboard
Channel.
Keyboard Channel
— sets the channel
for sending MIDI data to an external de-
vice (Default: 01). The keyboard receives
MIDI data on channels 1 through 4 and 10
only. The data received on other channels
are ignored. For transmission of MIDI da-
ta, you can use any of 16 channels.

change values received/recognized by
this keyboard.

board’s prerecorded tones.
G

setting allows receipt of all 0 to 127
program changes. Any data over

NOTES ABOUT THE MIDI
IMPLEMENTATION
CHART
The “MIDI Implementation Chart” on
Page 30 illustrates the details of the key-
board’s MIDI function. An
O
in the chart
means that the keyboard has this fea-
ture;
X
means it does not have this fea-
ture. The following notes explain what
the keyboard can do.
Basic Channel
MIDI uses up to 16
channels to exchange data. As in a TV
broadcast, different channels send dif-
ferent data. The keyboard can send data
in any of 16 channels, but receives data
only on channels 1 through 4 or 10.
