Local Control
“Local Control” refers to the fact that, normally, the 9000Pro keyboard controls the internal tone generator,
allowing the internal voices to be played directly from the keyboard. This condition is referred to as “Local Con-
trol on” since the internal tone generator is controlled locally by its own keyboard. Local control can be turned
off, however, so that the keyboard does not play the internal voices, but the appropriate MIDI information is still
transmitted via the MIDI OUT connector when notes are played on the keyboard. At the same time, the internal
tone generator can respond to MIDI information received on channels set to the “XG/GM” mode via the MIDI
IN connector. This means that while an external MIDI sequencer, for example, plays the 9000Pro internal voices,
an external tone generator can be played from the 9000Pro keyboard.
Clock, Receive Transpose and Thru Port
Clock
Determines whether the 9000Pro is controlled by its own internal clock or a MIDI clock signal received from an external
device. INTERNAL is the normal Clock setting when the 9000Pro is being used alone. If you are using the 9000Pro with
an external sequencer, MIDI computer, or other MIDI device, and you want the 9000Pro to be synchronized to the external
device, set this function to EXTERNAL. In the latter case, the external device must be connected to the 9000Pro MIDI IN
connector, and must be transmitting an appropriate MIDI clock signal.
Transmit Clock
Turns MIDI clock transmission on or off.
When set to OFF, no MIDI clock or START/STOP data is transmitted.
Receive Transpose
When the RECEIVE TRANSPOSE parameter is set to OFF, note data received by the 9000Pro is not transposed, and
when set to ON, the received note data is transposed according to the current 9000Pro song transpose setting.
Thru See page 173.
Message Switch
The SYS/EX. TRANSMIT parameter turns MIDI transmission of MIDI system exclusive message data on or off.
The SYS/EX. RECEIVE parameter turns MIDI reception of MIDI exclusive data generated by external equip-
ment on or off. The CHORD SYS/EX. TRANSMIT parameter turns MIDI transmission of MIDI chord exclusive
data (chord detect — root and type) on or off. The CHORD SYS/EX. RECEIVE parameter turns MIDI reception
of MIDI chord exclusive data generated by external equipment on or off.
Transmit Settings
This display page allows you to specify which 9000Pro voices and parts will be transmitted via which MIDI
channels (there are 32 MIDI channels), and to specify which types of data will be transmitted for each channel.
The explanations here apply to step #5 of the Basic Procedure on page 174.
The Tx MONITOR (transmit
monitor) indicates when data is
being transmitted on any of the
32 MIDI channels: The dots cor-
responding to each channel (1-
32) ash briey whenever any
data is transmitted on the chan-
nel(s).
Turn transmission of the specied
data type on or off.
See the next page for details on
the data types.

Channels 1 - 16 are handled
with the MIDI A terminals or
the TO HOST terminal; chan-
nels 1 - 16 of a second MIDI
port or device are handled as
channels 17 - 32 with the MIDI
B terminals.
