DUMPING/IMPORTING DATA
The keyboard’s internal data, including data
recorded to memory and synthesizer data,
can be sent and received in bulk as MIDI ex-
clusive data through the MIDI terminals.
Thus, you can use a computer or other MIDI
device as an external storage device.
First make connections from the
MIDI IN
and
MIDI OUT
terminals to an external device us-
ing MIDI cables.
Note:
Some software does not support MIDI
exclusive data.

USING THE MIXER AND MIDI
As noted previously, your keyboard has a to-
tal of 32 channels – 16 internal and 16 exter-
nal channels. You can use the external
channels to play notes on the keyboard in
accordance with the received MIDI data and
select tones. Internal channel settings are ir-
relevant to the MIDI received data.
You can use the mixer function in combina-
tion with MIDI, allowing you to perform a vari-
ety of operations.
Internal Mode
When you use the internal mode, the set-
tings affect only what you play on the key-
board and do not affect MIDI input data. You
can use the internal mode to play along with
external MIDI data by using separate set-
tings for the keyboard notes. You can
