e
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).
Here is the data that can be received
with this keyboard and the correspond-
ing control number.
The keyboard can send Hold1 Control
Change data only when you connect a
sustain pedal and press it.
CHANGING MIDI
SETTINGS
The keyboard lets you change two MIDI
parameters, Tone Map and Keyboard
Channel.
Keyboard Channel
— sets the channel
for sending MIDI data to an external de-
vice (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 da-
ta, you can use any of 16 channels.
1. Repeatedly press
TRANSPOSE/
TUNE/MIDI
until
Keybd
Ch
appears.
2. Within 5 seconds, press
or
+
to
select the channel you want.
Tone Map
—sets the range of program
change values received/recognized by
this keyboard.
1. Repeatedly press
TRANSPOSE/
TUNE/MIDI
until
TonMap=N
appears.
2. Within 5 seconds, press
or
+
to
select the setting you want.
N
: Normal Tone Map. This setting
allows receipt of 0 to 99 program
changes. Each program change
corresponds to one of the key-
board’s prerecorded tones.
G
: General MIDI Tone Map. This
setting allows receipt of all 0 to 127
program changes. Any data over
100 are translated to the closest
tone the keyboard has. See “Note
Table” on Page 29 for details.
Select

when you listen to General
MIDI data from an external device.
NOTES ABOUT THE MIDI
IMPLEMENTATION
CHART
The “MIDI Implementation Chart” on
Page 30 illustrates the details of the key-
board’s MIDI function. An
O
in the chart
means that the keyboard has this fea-
ture;
X
means it does not have this fea-
ture. The following notes explain what
the keyboard can do.
Basic Channel
— MIDI uses up to 16
channels to exchange data. As in a TV
broadcast, different channels send dif-
ferent data. The keyboard can send data
in any of 16 channels, but receives data
only on channels 1 through 4 or 10.
