MIDI Transmit/Receive Channel Selection

In any MIDI control setup, the MIDI channels of the transmitting and receiving devices must be matched NOTE
for proper data transfer. In Dual, Voice 1 data is transmitted on its
specified channel and Voice 2 data is

Local Control ON/OFF

“Local Control” refers to the fact that, normally, the keyboard of the instrument controls its internal tone generator, allowing the inter-
nal 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 the keyboard of the instrument 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 key-
board. At the same time, the internal tone generator responds to MIDI information received via the MIDI IN terminal.

While holding down the [DEMO] button, press and hold the [METRONOME ON/OFF] button, NOTE
then press one of the A#5 key. Pressing the A#5 key repeatedly toggles between Local Control On Default setting: ON

and Off.

 MIDI Functions

Program Change ON/OFF

Normally the instrument will respond to MIDI program change numbers received from an external keyboard or other MIDI device,
causing the same numbered voice to be selected on the corresponding channel (the keyboard voice does not change). The instrument
will normally also send a MIDI program change number whenever one of its voices is selected, causing the same 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
instrument without affecting the external MIDI device.

While holding down the [DEMO] button, press and hold the [METRONOME ON/OFF] button, NOTE
then press one of the B5 key. Pressing the B5 key repeatedly toggles between Program Change On For information on program change num-
bers for each of the Voices of the instru-
and Off. ment, refer to page 4.

Control Change ON/OFF

Normally the instrument will respond to MIDI control change data received from an external MIDI device or keyboard, causing the
voice on the corresponding channel to be affected by pedal and other “control” settings received from the controlling device (the key-
board voice is not affected). The instrument also transmits MIDI control change information when the pedal or other appropriate con-
trols are operated. This function makes it possible to cancel control change data reception and transmission so that, for example, the
pedal of the instrument and other controls can be operated without affecting an external MIDI device.

While holding down the [DEMO] button, press and hold the [METRONOME ON/OFF] button, NOTE
then press one of the C6 key. Pressing the C6 key repeatedly toggles between Control Change On For information on control changes that
can be used with the instrument, refer to
