MIDI Functions
You can make detailed adjustments to MIDI settings.
MIDI Transmit/Receive Channel Selection
In any MIDI control setup, the MIDI channels of the transmitting and
receiving devices must be matched for proper data transfer.
This parameter enables you to specify the channel on which the P-85
transmits or receives MIDI data.
Setting the Transmit Channel
While holding down the [DEMO/SONG] and [METRONOME] buttons, press
one of the C1–E2 keys.
Setting the Receive Channel
While holding down the [DEMO/SONG] and [METRONOME] buttons, press
one of the C4–F5 keys.
Local Control ON/OFF
“Local Control” refers to the fact that, normally, the P-85 keyboard controls its internal tone gener-
ator, 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-85 keyboard does not play the internal
voices, but the appropriate MIDI information is still transmitted via the MIDI OUT terminal when
notes are played on the keyboard. At the same time, the internal tone generator responds to MIDI
information received via the MIDI IN terminal.
While holding down the [DEMO/SONG] and [METRONOME] buttons, press the
C6 key. Pressing the C6 key repeatedly toggles between Local Control On and
Off.
In Dual, Voice 1 data is transmit-
ted on its specified channel and
Voice 2 data is transmitted on the
next greater channel number rela-
tive to the specified channel. In
this case, no data is transmitted if
the transmit channel is set to
“OFF.”
ALL:
“Multi-timbre” Receive. This
allows simultaneous reception of
different parts on all 16 MIDI
channels, enabling the P-85 to
play multi-channel song data
received from a music computer
or sequencer.
1+2:
“1+2” Receive. This allows simul-
taneous reception on channels 1
and 2 only, enabling the P-85 to
play 1 and 2 channel song data
received from a music computer
or sequencer.
Program change and other like
channel messages received will
not affect the P-85’s panel set-
tings or the notes you play on the
keyboard.
Data for the demo song and
piano preset songs cannot be
transmitted via MIDI.
