General MIDI
The General MIDI System is a set of specifications for sound
generating devices agreed upon by world MIDI
manufacturers. These specifications were developed to allow
the creation of music data that is not limited to specific
equipment makers and models. Among other things, General
MIDI defines the tone number sequence and the number of
MIDI channels that can be used. Any device equipped with a
sound source that supports General MIDI is able to produce
sounds of similar nuances, regardless of the manufacturer or
model.
The Type 2 program change numbers of this digital piano
assign program numbers to tones so they comply with the
General MIDI System.
Type 2 program change numbers make it possible to receive
General MIDI System data from a connected sequencer or
other device, and play it using the digital piano’s tones. Tone
switching is performed only when a program number that
corresponds to any of the digital piano’s non-bass tones is
received. No tone switching is performed when any other
program number is received.
The table on page E-23 shows the program number
assignments for Type 1 and Type 2.

When Local Control is on (the normal setting), anything
played on the keyboard is sounded by the internal sound
source and simultaneously output from the MIDI OUT
terminal. When off, anything played on the keyboard is
output from the MIDI OUT terminal only, without being
sounded by the sound source.
Local Control can be turned off when you are using the digital
piano as the sound source of a connected sequencer or other
device, and you want to guard against sound being produced
should the digital piano keyboard be pressed accidentally.
To turn Local Control on and off
While still holding down the CONTROL button, switch
