MIDI Transmit & Receive Channel Selection ...................................................................................................
● Setting the YDP-88II MIDI Channels
(Set to receive on MIDI
channel 2)
(Set to receive on MIDI channel 1)
For setting the transmit
channel. (C1 ~ D#2)
For setting the receive
channel. (C4 ~ D#5)
For OMNI mode
ZPress and hold the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button.
XPress the key on the keyboard corresponding to the desired MIDI
transmit or receive channel.*
CRelease the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button.
* Keys C1 through D#2 on the keyboard are used to set the MIDI
transmit channel, and keys C4 through D#5 are used to turn the
OMNI mode OFF and set the MIDI receive channel as shown in
the illustration to the left. The E5 key sets the OMNI receive
mode and basic receive channel 1.
NOTE
• When the power is initially turned ON, MIDI receive is
set to the OMNI mode and the transmit channel is set
to 1.
The MIDI system allows transmission and reception of MIDI data
on 16 different channels. Multiple channels have been implemented
to allow selective control of certain instruments or devices connected
in series. For example, a single MIDI sequence recorder could be
used to “play” two different instruments or tone generators. One of
the instruments or tone generators could be set to receive only on
channel 1, while the other is set to receive on channel 2. In this
situation the first instrument or tone generator will respond only to
channel-1 information transmitted by the sequence recorder, while the
second instrument or tone generator will respond only to channel-2
information. This allows the sequence recorder to “play” two
completely different parts on the receiving instruments or tone
generators.
In any MIDI control setup, the MIDI channels of the transmitting
and receiving equipment must be matched for proper data transfer. An
“OMNI” receive mode is also available, which allows reception on all
16 MIDI channels. In the OMNI mode it is not necessary to match
the receive channel of the receiving device to the transmit channel of
the transmitting device (except when receiving mode messages).
