When the RS-5/9’s keyboard is played, sounds are
simultaneously played by the RS-5/9 and the external
MIDI sound generator.
* For instructions on setting each of the external MIDI sound
generator’s Part’s Receive channel, refer to the owner’s
manual for each device.
* If you want sounds to be played only by the external MIDI
sound generator, set the Local control to OFF (p. 124).
Selecting sounds on another
device using the RS-5/9
When you have finished making the connections and setting
the channels, try switching the external MIDI sound
generator’s Tones from the RS-5/9.
When you switch the Tone or Drum Set with the buttons on
the RS-5/9’s panel, Bank Select (Controller Number 0, 32)
and Program Change messages for the selected Tone or
Drum Set are sent from the MIDI OUT connector. The Tone
played by the external MIDI sound generator switches to the
Tone corresponding to these MIDI messages.
If the RS-5/9 is connected to a GM2-compatible sound
generator, then when choosing a GM2 format Tone, select a
Preset Tone 257–512 or Drum Set 12–20.
With Preset Tones 1–128 and User Tones 1–128, the Program
numbers output are the same as those for the corresponding
Tones. If you want to switch the Tones with attention to the
Program number, first set the Bank Select Transmit Switch to
OFF (refer to the information below), and then you can select
your Tones.
Tone switching messages are sent through the keyboard’s
Transmit channels (refer to the information below) in the
following sequence.
1. Bank Select MSB (controller number 0) (BnH 00H mmH)
2. Bank Select LSB (controller number 32) (BnH 20H mmH)
3. Program Change (CnH ppH)
n: MIDI channel number
mm, ll: Bank number
pp: Program number
* MIDI messages are not transmitted when you select a different
Tone or Drum Set by moving to a different Part.
* These messages for sound selection are not transmitted when
you select a Performance.
* For Bank numbers and Program numbers sent with the
selection of each Tone and Drum Set, refer to (p. 123), “Tone
List” (p. 149, 150) and “Drum Set List” (p. 151–154).
Transmitting Only Program Numbers
If the external MIDI sound generator receives a Bank number
for which no Tone has been assigned, an alternate Tone may
be selected, or in some cases, there may be no sound played.
To ensure the proper Tone is selected, you may be better off
selecting the Tone group for the external MIDI sound
generator first, and then transmitting only the Program
number. You can then switch tones within the same group.
To transmit only the Program number, set the Bank Select
Transmit Switch to OFF.
The Bank Select Transmit Switch affects the entire RS-5/9
(i.e., is a System setting). This setting remains stored in
memory even while the power is off.
1. Press [EDIT], getting the indicator to light.
2. Use VALUE [-]/[+] to select “System Setup.”
3. Press [ENTER].
4. Press the numeric key [4] several times to select “Bank
Select.”
