Using MIDI
11
Note On/Off 
—
 
specifies which keys are 
pressed (Note On) or released (Note Off). 
Also includes how loud a note is played as a 
value from 0 to 127. 
±
Program Change 
—
 
specifies the tone. The 
keyboard sends program change data in the 
range of 0 to 99, corresponding to tone 
numbers. It receives data within the same 
range if GM tone mapping is set to N, or in 
the range of 0 to 127 if GM tone mapping is 
set to G. In the latter case, tones in the 
range of 100 to 127 are translated to the 
closest tone that the keyboard has.
Pitch Bend 
—
 
supplies Pitch Bend 
information. The keyboard’s pitch changes 
as it receives a Pitch Bend message 
through the 
MIDI IN
 terminal.
Control Change 
—
 
adds effects such as 
vibrato and volume changes during 
keyboard play. The message includes a 
control number (the effect type) and a 
control value (the on/off and depth of the 
effect).
Here is the data that can be received with 
this keyboard and the corresponding control 
number.
The keyboard can send Hold1 Control 
Change data only when you connect a 
sustain pedal and press it.

Keyboard Channel 
— sets the channel for 
sending MIDI data to an external device 
(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 data, you can use 
any of 16 channels.

The “MIDI Implementation Chart” on 
Page 17 shows specific details about how 
your keyboard is compatible with the MIDI 
standard. The following notes explain how 
the keyboard works within the MIDI 
standard.
Basic Channel 
—  The MIDI standard 
allows for the use of up to 16 channels to 
exchange data. Like a TV broadcast, each 
of these channels can contain different data. 
The keyboard can send data on all 16 of 
these channels and can receive data on 
channels 1 through 4 and channel 10.
Mode
 — The MIDI standard allows for four 
separate modes of operation. The keyboard 
sends and receives data in Mode 3. This 
means that the data sent and received by 
the keyboard can be polyphonic and can be 
sent or received on only one channel at a 
time.
Note Number 
— The MIDI standard allows 
for note numbers from 0 through 127. This 
number represents each possible note that 
a device can play. The lowest note number 
(0) is five octaves below middle C and the 
highest note number (127) is three octaves 
above middle C. The keyboard can receive 
all 128 note numbers and can send note 
numbers between 36 and 96. 
If the keyboard receives a note number 
outside its range, it automatically assigns 
the note to a key within its key range.
The keyboard’s lowest note is two octaves 
below middle C, and the highest note is 
three octaves above middle C. 
Velocity
 — The MIDI standard allows for 
velocity numbers from 0 through 127. 
Velocity is how fast a key is pressed (or if 
the key is pressed at all) or how loud a note 
sounds. A velocity of 0 means that the key is 
not pressed. The lowest velocity (1) is 
pianissimo and the highest velocity (127) is 
fortissimo. The keyboard can receive all 128 
velocity numbers and can send velocity 
numbers 75 or 100.

message is 9 hexadecimal for the channel 
number
