Midi; Receive Channel/Clock; Mode - Yamaha PORTATONE PSR-400 Owner's Manual

RECEIVE CHANNEL/CLOCK

The enable/disable status of all MIDI receive channels
is set via the MIDI section RECEIVE CH./CLOCK
and buttons. The button increments the receive
channel number shown on the display and the
decrements the receive channel number. The receive chan-
nel number is shown on the right two digits of the MULTI
DISPLAY while the status — "E" for enabled or "d" for
disabled — appears on the leftmost digit. The MIDI chan-
nel and status display appears while selection is in
progress and for approximately 2 seconds after both MIDI
CH. buttons are released. A "C" in place of the channel
number (1 through 16) stands for "CLOCK," and allows
reception of the MIDI clock to turned on or off. If the
[RECEIVE ON/OFF] button is used while the MIDI re-
ceive channel or clock display is showing, the status of the
channel or clock can be switched between "E" and "d."
• Receive channel/clock settings apply to both the Remote Control
and Multi Voice receive modes.
• Separate receive channel/clock settings are retained in each
PAGE MEMORY even when the power is turned off (see "PAGE
MEMORY" on page 14 for details).

MODE

The [MODE] button is used to select the MIDI receive
mode in which the PSR-400/PSR-500 is to operate —
Remote Control or Multi Voice.
button Press the [MODE] button to call the mode display, then
use the same button to select "00" (Remote Control) or
"99" (Multi Voice).
• The MIDI MODE is automatically reset to "00" whenever the
power is turned on, when a different PAGE MEMORY is se-
lected, or when the DEMO function is used.
The Remote Control Mode (Mode 00)
The Remote Control mode should be used when the
PSR-400/PSR-500 is to be connected to a second key-
board by which it is to be controlled. In this mode playing
the external keyboard has exactly the same effect as play-
ing the PSR-400/PSR-500's own keyboard. Further the
PSR-400/PSR-500 panel controls can be used as normal.
This mode is automatically selected whenever the PSR-
400/PSR-500 is turned on, when a different PAGE
MEMORY is selected, or when the DEMO function is
used.
Data Received In the Remote Control Mode
The PSR-400/PSR-500 receives and responds to the
following data received via the MIDI IN connector when
the Remote Control mode is selected:
• In addition to note and velocity data, the PSR-400/PSR-
500 responds to program change, sustain ON/OFF, vi-
brato, volume, pan, reverb (PSR-500 only), start, stop,
and MIDI clock messages.
• Program change messages 00 through 99 correspond to
voices 00 through 99.
