As you can see, it is essential to determine which data
is to be sent over which MIDI channel when
transmitting MIDI data (page 146). The PSR-2000/1000
also allows you to determine how the received data is
played back. (page 147).
System Messages
This is data that is used in common by the entire MIDI
system. System messages include messages like Exclusive
Messages that transmit data unique to each instrument
manufacturer and Realtime Messages that control the
MIDI device.
The messages transmitted/received by the PSR-2000/1000
are shown in the MIDI Data Format and MIDI
Implementation Chart in the separate Data List.
What You Can Do With MIDI
The following MIDI settings can be made on the PSR-
2000/1000:
MIDI templates (preset MIDI setups for various
applications) (page 145)
Transmit (page 146)
Receive (page 147)
Local Control (page 145)
Clock (page 146)
Record performance data (1-16 channels) using the
PSR-2000/1000 Auto Accompaniment features on a
external sequencer (such as a personal computer).
After recording, edit the data with the sequencer, then
play it again on the PSR-2000/1000 (playback).
When you want to use the PSR-2000/1000 as an XG-
compatible multi-timbral tone generator, set the receive
part for MIDI channels 1 to 16 to “SONG” in MIDI
Receive (page 147).
Play and control the PSR-2000/1000 from a separate
keyboard
Data Compatibility
This section covers basic information on data
compatibility: whether or not other MIDI devices can
playback the data recorded by PSR-2000/1000, and
whether or not the PSR-2000/1000 can playback
commercially available song data or song data created for
other instruments or on a computer. Depending on the
MIDI device or data characteristics, you may be able to
play back the data without any problem, or you may have
to perform some special operations before the data can be
played back. If you run into problems playing back data,
please refer to the information below.
Disk format
Floppy disks are the main storage medium for data used
with various devices, including computers. Different
devices have different systems of storing data, therefore it
is necessary to first configure the floppy disk to the system
of the device being used.This operation is called
“formatting.”
There are two types of floppy disks: MF2DD (double
sided, double density) and MF2HD (double sided,
high density), and each type has different formatting
systems.
PSR-2000/1000 can record and playback with both
types of floppy disks.
When formatted by the PSR-2000/1000, a 2DD disk
stores up to 720 KB (kilobytes) and a 2HD disk stores
up to1.44 MB (megabytes). (The figures “720 KB” and
“1.44MB” indicate the data memory capacity. They are
also used to indicate the format type of disk.)
Playback is only possible when the MIDI device to be
used is compatible with the format of the disk.
