CLP-990 85
MIDI [MIDI SETTING]
This parameter enables you to specify for each channel
whether the Clavinova receives data at the MIDI [IN]
connector or the [TO HOST] port B (CBX driver’s
port B).
The received data is played back using the preset voices
(page 103).
See the procedure on page 72.
Setting for:
Ch1 - Ch16
Setting range:
On/Off
Normal setting:
On for all channels
“Local Control On” is a state in which the Clavinova
produces the sound from its tone generator when you
play the keyboard. In “Local Control Off” state, the
keyboard and the tone generator are cut off from each
other. This means that even if you play the keyboard,
the Clavinova will not produce the sound. Instead, the
keyboard data can be transmitted via MIDI to a con-
nected MIDI device, which can produce the sound.
The “Local Control Off” setting is useful when you
wish to play an external sound source while playing the
keys on the Clavinova.
See the procedure on page 72.
Setting range:
On/Off
Normal setting:
On
You can select whether your performance data or song
playback data (including demo songs) is sent via
MIDI.
See the procedure on page 72.
Setting range:
Keyboard (performance data played on the keyboard)
Song (song playback data)
Normal setting:
Keyboard
This parameter enables you to specify which MIDI
data the Clavinova can receive.
See the procedure on page 72.
Type of data:
Note, Control, Program, Pitch Bend, SysEx (System
Exclusive)
