Receiving on all MIDI channels—
Omni On/Off
When set to Omni On, the MP-500 will sound as a result of
received MIDI messages, no matter which channel the
messages arrive on.
When set to Omni Off, the MP-500 will recognize only the
messages that arrive on the MIDI channel that has been
selected, as explained under “Set the MIDI Channel.”
■

Omni On is automatically set when the power is switched on.
Hold down the [Piano 1] button, the [Piano
2] button, and the [Harpsichord] button,
and press the “F4” note to turn the setting
On, or the “G4” note to turn the setting Off.

Set the MIDI Channel
MIDI features sixteen MIDI channels, numbered 1–16.
The connected devices must be set to use the same MIDI
channels, otherwise no sound will be produced.
- In a setup where you wish to play the MP-500 and also
have another MIDI-equipped instrument or sound
module play the same notes, you should first set the
channel used for reception on your external device to the
same channel that you have the MP-500 set to use for
transmission.
- If using another MIDI keyboard as a master instrument,
and you wish to have the MP-500 played by it, you would
need to set the channel used for reception on the MP-500
to the same channel that the master keyboard will be
transmitting on.
- When wishing to have a sequencer play the MP-500, you
need to set the channel used or reception on the MP-500 to
the same channel that the recorded MIDI data is set to use.
When the MP-500 is turned on, Channel “1” is selected.
While holding down the [Piano 1], [Piano 2],
and [Harpsichord] buttons, press the
appropriate key (C2–D4) on the keyboard.
The MIDI transmit channel and receive channel will
switch to the number that corresponds to the note you
pressed.
