Cautions:
• Always turn off power to your MD-
1150 and the other MIDI device
before you connect or disconnect
MIDI cables.
• As you make the cable connections,
be sure to align the MIDI cable pins
with the matching holes on your
keyboard’s
MIDI OUT
and
MIDI IN
ter-
minals. If you have trouble plugging
in the cable, do not force it! You
might damage the plug or the instru-
ment.
To send MIDI data from your keyboard,
use a MIDI cable to connect the MD-
1150’s
MIDI OUT
terminal to the other
device’s MIDI IN terminal.
To receive MIDI data on your keyboard,
use a MIDI cable to connect the MD-
1150’s
MIDI IN
terminal to the other de-
vice’s MIDI OUT terminal.
Note: You do not need to make both
connections if you are only either send-
ing or receiving.
MIDI DATA
Your MD-1150 can send and receive
several different types of MIDI data. The
MD-1150’s tones, rhythms, and other
types of MIDI data are sent automatical-
ly as you play.
Notes:
• The MD-1150’s prerecorded tunes
cannot be sent as MIDI data.
• For detailed specifications of the
MIDI function, see the “MIDI Imple-
mentation Chart” on Page 34.
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.
Notes:
• The pitch of a note depends on the
tone that is being used, as shown in
the “Note Table” on Page 33.
• If the keyboard receives a “request”
to play notes outside of its range
(higher or lower), it automatically
selects the same note in the nearest
octave.
Program Change — specifies the tone.
The keyboard sends program change
data in the range of 0 to 99, correspond-
ing to tone numbers. It receives data
within the same range if GM tone map-
ping 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 infor-
mation. 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 applied
during keyboard play. The message in-
cludes a control number (the effect type)
and a control value (the on/off and depth
of the effect).
