manual abstract
This section will explain how you can take advantage of the SP-500’s MIDI functionality. If you would like to learn more about MIDI, please refer to one of the many introductory books that are commercially available. MIDI connections MIDI cables are used to transfer MIDI data. Connect this cable to the MIDI connectors of the SP-500 and the MIDI connectors of an external MIDI device. There are two MIDI port types. MIDI IN connector MIDI messages are received at this connector. This lets you use an external MIDI device (e.g., MIDI keyboard or sequencer) to play and control the sounds of the SP-500. Use a MIDI cable to connect the SP-500’s MIDI IN connector to the MIDI OUT connector of the external MIDI device. MIDI OUT connector MIDI messages are transmitted from this connector. The MIDI messages that are transmitted when you play the SP-500 can control an external MIDI device. Use a MIDI cable to connect the MIDI OUT connector of the SP-500 to the MIDI IN connector of the external MIDI device. MIDI OUT MIDI cable MIDI keyboard MIDI tone generator module MIDI IN MIDI channel settings After you have finished making connections to your MIDI devices, set the MIDI channels of the SP-500 and the connected MIDI device to the same number. There are sixteen MIDI channels; 1–16. 1 2 3 Press the [FUNCTION] switch Access the “Func 6/10” page Set the value of each cell Press each cell, and use the dial or the [VALUE] switches to set the MIDI channel. “Chord Rx1,” “Chord Rx2” Receive channel functions This is used when using an external MIDI device to control the chords for the automatic accompaniment. Chords can be specified by receiving MIDI note events from an external device on the specified channel. With this type of input, chords can be detected over the full range of the keyboard, regardless of the split point setting. Since the normal keyboard input and the Chord Rx channels can function simultaneously, unexpected results may occur if you use keyboard input together with MIDI input. Functions 69 “Keyboard” Receive channel functions Use this when you wish to use an external device to control the SP-500 via MIDI with the same operation as the SP-500’s own keyboard. If [LAYER] or [SPLIT] is on, note events will be sounded in the same way as when the SP-500’s own keyboard is used. However, program changes will not be received. When [DEMO] is selected, it is not possible to play the keyboard sound from an external device. The default sounds for MIDI channels 1–16 will be the sounds of the demo song. Transmit channel functions When the [DEMO] switch is lit, your performance on the keyboard will be transmitted on this channel. When you use Recorder Tracks, please select “Keyboard” Channel 1. . The following channel settings are valid when the [DEMO] switch is dark. “Upper 1” Receive channel functions When MIDI note events of this channel are received, the Upper 1 sound will be heard. Transmit channel functions Performance data from the keyboard will be transmitted on this channel. If the [SPLIT] switch is on, notes will be output only for the Upper 1 range. If this is set to the same channel as “Keyboard,” program changes will not be received. “Low/Upp2” Receive channel functions When MIDI note events of this channel are received, the Upper2 sound will be played if the [LAYER] switch is on, or the “Lower” sound will be played if the [SPLIT] switch is on. Transmit channel functions When the [SPLIT] switch is on, only the notes of the Lower range will be output on this channel. If this is set to the same channel as “Keyboard” or “Upp1,” program changes will not be received. “Drum,” “Perc,” “Bass,” “Acc1,” “Acc2,” “Acc3” Receive channel functions When MIDI note events of this channel are received, the corresponding automatic accompaniment part will be played. Transmit channel functions The performance data of each automatic accompaniment part will be output on this channel. Recorder Track 1–Track 5 are fixed at MIDI channels 2–6. To write settings into internal memory In the “Func 7/10” page, execute “Write.” If you turn off the power without writing, the previous settings will reappear. To return to the previous display If you press the [EXIT] switch or the [FUNCTION] switch, the [FUNCTION] switch indicator will go dark, and you will return to the previous LCD screen. Using the SP-500 as a multi-timbral tone generator The SP-500 can function as a multi-timbral tone generator that can be played from an external MIDI device. When the [DEMO] switch is on, the SP-500 will function as a 16-timbre GM tone generator. It is not possible to set the MIDI channel. While the demo plays, the sounds will change according to the demo data. Local on/off setting If you wish to use the SP-500’s keyboard to trigger an external MIDI tone generator without hearing the internal tone generator, or if the SP-500 is connected to a sequencer with an Echo Back setting (that re-transmits the incoming data) and need to prevent notes from being heard i...
