The

send
the
MIDI
note
numbers
corresponding
to
the
keys
you
pressed.
The
internal
(and
automatic)
transposition
related
to
the
assignment
of
certain
Tones
to
certain
parts
is
translated
into
note
numbers,
so
that
playing
a
C4
(note

number
60)
may
actually
result
in
note
number
36
being
played
and
sent
to
the
corresponding
MID!
OUT
port.
This,
of
course,
depends
on
the
Tone
you
assign
to
a
part.
See
the
Player's
Guide
for
an
example.

@ rxVelo, txVelo, On/Off switches
Your
G-800
is
equipped
with
a
velocity-sensitive
keyboard
and
a
tone
generator
capable
of
responding
to
velocity
messages.
Velocity
messages
are
an
important
element
for
musical
expression
because
the
way
you
strike
a
key
results
in
a
loud/bright
or
soft/round
note,
telling
the listener something about your feelings.
In
some
cases,
however,
it
may
be
wiser
not
to
convey
the
velocity
aspect
of
music
making
to
emulate
instruments
that
are
not
velocity
sensitive
(such
as
organs,
for
example).
The
G-800
allows
you
to
activate
or
deactivate
the
transmission
and/or
reception
of
velocity
mes-
sages.
Use
the
Part
Select
[M.BASS]
and
Part
Select
[LOWER]
buttons
to
switch
the
recep-
tion (RX) or transmission (TX) of velocity messages on or off.
If
you
select
the
Off
position,
you
have
to
tell
your
G-800
which
velocity
value
to
use
instead
of
the
continuous
flux
normally
received
(in
this
case,
the
word
receive
applies
to
both
incom-
ing
MIDI
data
and
the
messages
received
from
the
G-800’s
keyboard).
That
is
what
rele]
and
tlc
are
for.
The
value
you
set
using
the
[ACCOMP/GROUP]
or
[BASS/BANK]
knob
will
be
used
for
all
notes
received
via
MIDI
(RX)
or
sent
to
a
MIDI
OUT
put
(TX)
—
but
only when the corresponding velocity filter is set to Off.
@ PartSwtc
The
Part
Switch
parameter
on
this
display
page
allows
you
determine
what
happens
when
you
mute
a
part
on
the
first
Realtime
or
Arranger
Mixer
page
(see
“On/Off
(part
mute)”
on
page
14).
One
thing
you
know
will
happen
is
that
the
part
in
question
no
longer
sounds
when
you
play
on
the
keyboard
—
even
though
its
Keyboard
Mode
indicator
lights,
or
even
though
the
Arranger
is
playing.
What
you
do
not
see,
however,
is
whether
a
muted
part
still
sends
MIDI
data.
PartSwtc
allows
you
to
specify
whether
or
not
a
muted
part
should
go
on
sending
MIDI
messages
to
MIDI
OUT
A
or
B:
Part Switch
Meaning
A
muted
part
can
no
longer
be
played
via
the
G-800's
keyboard
or
Arranger
but
He
continues
to
send
MIDI
messages
to
the
MIDI
OUT
put
it
is
assigned
to.
A
muted
part
can
no
longer
be
played
via
the
G-800's
keyboard
or
Arranger
and
no
hee longer sends MIDI messages.
Selecting
Irt.
and
muting
a
part
thus
has
the
same
effect
as
selecting
Local
Off
(see
page
86).
Choose
whichever
is
more
convenient
in
a
given
situation:
part
mute
can
be
saved
to
a
Per-
formance
Memory,
while
Local
and
Part
Switch
can
only
be
saved
to
a
MIDI
Set.
E Soft Thru (On, Off)
This
function
actually
overrides
the
MIDI
specifications,
according
to
which
the
MIDI
OUT-
put
of
an
instrument
only
sends
messages
generated
on
the
instrument
itself
(e.g.
your
G-800).
When
you
set
Soft
Thru
to
On,
all
notes
received
on
the
NTA
channel
beyond
the
NTA’s
High
and
Low
Limits
are
re-transmitted
to
the
NTA’s
MIDI
OUTput.
Use
the
Soft
Thru
feature
for
a
digital
piano
or
other
keyboard
instrument
without
split
function.
