MIDI Settings
1 Send Channel
Use this setting to specify one of the MIDI channels (1 through
16) as the Send Channel for sending MIDI messages to an
external device.
2 Local Control
This setting controls whether or not power is cut off internally
from the digital piano’s keyboard and sound source. Turning
off Local Control cuts off power to the keyboard and source,
which means that the digital piano does not produce any
sound when played. This comes in handy when you want to
turn off the digital piano’s keyboard and use its auto
accompaniment feature to accompany an external sequencer
or other device.

NOTE
• The digital piano is equipped with only two pedals. The
left-hand pedal can be switched between soft and
sostenuto. The pedal effect applied by MIDI data
depends on whether data is being sent or received.
Send:
Pressing the left pedal sends data that
corresponds to the current pedal effect setting
(soft or sostenuto).
Receive: Pedal effect is applied in accordance with the
data received.
