Midi (Psr-310 Only); The Remote Control Mode; Multi Mode - Yamaha PortaTone PSR-210 Authorized Product Manual

MIDI (PSR-310 only)

The Remote Control Mode

The following data is transmitted:
Velocity data
Sustain ON/OFF data
Keyboard performance data
Program Change messages (Program change num-
bers 00 through 99 correspond to the PSR-310's voice
numbers 01 through 00)
MIDI START, STOP, and CLOCK messages
In Split mode both the left and right-hand keyboard sec-
tions are transmitted over one MIDI channel.
The following data is not transmitted:
Transpose settings
ACCOMPANIMENT,SONG BOOK, MELODY AND
CHORD MEMORY perfomance data.
Performance data from the left-hand section of the key-
board in Single Finger or Fingered mode.

Multi Mode

MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a world-standard commu-
nication interface that allows MIDI-compatible musical instruments and
equipment to share musical information and control one another. This
makes it possible to create "systems" of MIDI instruments and equip-
ment that offer far greater versatility and control than is available with
isolated instruments.
You will need a MIDI cable if you want to connect the PSR-310 to an-
other MIDI device.
The PSR-310 features two MIDI modes: Remote Control and Multi.
The Remote Control mode can be used to let the PSR-310 control other
MIDI devices, or it can be used to let other devices control the PSR-310. It
allows you, for example, to record your PSR-310's performance data on a
sequencer or you could play the Accompaniment of the PSR-310 from a
master keyboard. The Remote Control mode is automatically selected
whenever the PSR-310 is turned on. However, if Multi mode has been se-
lected (see below), the Remote Control mode can be re-selected.
To select the Remote Control mode:
Hold down the REC button and press the NUMERIC SELEC-
TION 0 button.
Each time 0 is pressed while holding down the REC button, the PSR-310
switches between the Remote Control mode "rc" and the Multi mode " I_ _ _I ".
The following data can be received:
Performance data for the Accompaniment in Single Fin-
ger or Fingered mode
Sustain ON/OFF data (The panel setting will not change)
Program Change data (Program change numbers 00
through 99 correspond to the PSR-310's voice numbers
01 through 00)
MIDI START, STOP, and CLOCK messages. (External
CLOCK messages override the PSR-310 TEMPO but-
tons; if you try to operate them "EC" will appear on the
MULTI DISPLAY If after that no other external CLOCK
messages are sent, the PSR-310 settings will become
effective.)
In Split mode, different voices can be produced in the
left and right-hand sections of the keyboard when the
appropriate MIDI messages are sent over separate
channels.
When the PSR-310 is set to Single Finger or Fingered
mode the PSR-310's accompaniment can be controlled
from another MIDI device.
The Multi mode should be used when the PSR-310 is to be used as a tone
generator, for example, receiving data from a second MIDI device. In this
mode the PSR-310 can receive on multiple MIDI channels, each channel
corresponding to a different voice. The PSR-310 panel controls will not
function when the Multi mode is selected.
