P-80
The Function Mode
In any MIDI control setup, the MIDI channels of the transmitting and receiving equipment must
be matched for proper data transfer. A “Multi-timbre” receive mode is also available, which allows
simultaneous reception of different parts on all 16 MIDI channels, allowing the P-80 to play multi-
channel song data received from a music computer or sequencer. There’s also a “1-2” mode which
allows simultaneous reception on channels 1 and 2.
Use the [–/NO▼] and [+/YES▲] buttons to select the desired transmit or receive channel. The transmit
channel parameter can also be turned “OFF” if you don’t want the P-80 to transmit any MIDI data. To select
the multi-timbre receive mode, set the receive channel to “ALL”. Select “1-2” for multi-timbre reception on
channels 1 and 2 only.
Press the [–/NO▼] and [+/YES▲] buttons simultaneously to recall the default setting: transmit = “1”;
receive = “ALL”.
NOTE
• In the dual mode first voice data is transmitted on its set channel, and in the split mode right voice data is
transmitted on its set channel. In the dual mode second voice data is transmitted on the next greater channel
number of the set channel, and in the split mode left voice data is transmitted on the next greater channel
number of the set channel. In either mode, no data is transmitted if the transmit channel is set to “OFF”.
• Demo/preset song data and recorder playback data are not transmitted via MIDI.
• No MIDI reception occurs when the demo/preset song mode is engaged.
• Program change and other like channel messages received will not affect the P-80’s panel settings or what is
being played on the keyboard.
F8.3: Local Control ON/OFF..........................................................................................................................
“Local Control” refers to the fact that, normally, the P-80 keyboard controls its internal tone
generator, allowing the internal voices to be played directly from the keyboard. This situation is
“Local Control On” since the internal tone generator is controlled locally by its own keyboard.
Local control can be turned OFF, however, so that the P-80 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 responds to MIDI
information received via the MIDI IN connector.
Use the [–/NO▼] and [+/YES▲] buttons to turn local control “On” or “OFF”.
Press [–/NO▼] and [+/YES▲] buttons simultaneously to recall the default setting “On”.
F8.4: Program Change ON/OFF ................................................................................................................
Normally the P-80 will respond to MIDI program change numbers received from an external
keyboard or other MIDI device, causing the correspondingly numbered voice to be selected on the
corresponding channel (the keyboard voice does not change). The P-80 will normally also send a
MIDI program change number whenever one of its voices is selected, causing the correspondingly
numbered voice or program to be selected on the external MIDI device if the device is set up to
receive and respond to MIDI program change numbers.
This function makes it possible to cancel program change number reception and transmission so
that voices can be selected on the P-80 without affecting the external MIDI device.
Use the [–/NO▼] and [+/YES▲] buttons to turn program change transmission and reception “On” or
“OFF”.
Press the [–/NO▼] and [+/YES▲] buttons simultaneously to recall the default setting “On”.
NOTE
• For information on program change numbers for each of the P-80’s voices, refer to page 42 in the MIDI Data
Format section.
