● MIDI Transmit & Receive

Channel Selection

The MIDI system allows transmission and reception of MIDI data on 16

different channels. Multiple channels have been implemented to allow se-

lective 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 genera-

tor 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 chan-

nels. 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 (ex-

cept when receiving mode messages).

Setting the Clavinova MIDI Channels

ZPress and hold the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button.

XPress the key on the keyboard corresponding to the desired MIDI trans-

mit 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.

This function allows the MIDI note data transmitted by the Clavinova to

be transposed up or down in semitone increments by up to plus or minus 6

semitones. The pitch of the Clavinova itself is not affected.

Setting the MIDI Transpose Function

ZPress and hold the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button.

XPress the key on the keyboard corresponding to the desired amount of

transposition.*

CRelease the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button.

* Keys F#5 through F#6 on the keyboard are used to set the MIDI transmit

transpose function as shown in the illustration to the left.

Note: When the power is turned ON, MIDI transmit transpose is set to 0 (no trans-

position).
