MIDI Settings
MIDI Overview
The term MIDI is an acronym for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, an
international standard for connecting musical instruments, computers, and
other devices to allow the exchange of performance data.
MIDI Terminals

MIDI OUT

Sending note, program change, and other data.
MIDI channels
MIDI uses channels to exchange data back and forth between MIDI devices. There
are receive (MIDI IN) and transmit (MIDI OUT)
channels. Most musical instruments or devices with MIDI functions are equipped
with both MIDI IN and OUT jacks and are capable
of transmitting and receiving data via MIDI. The receive channels are used to
receive data from another MIDI device, and the transmit
channels are used to transmit data to another MIDI device.
The illustration below shows three musical instruments, connected together
using MIDI.
Transmitting instrument a 1 sends transmit channel and keyboard
information to receiving instruments 2/3
The information arrives at the receiving instruments 2/3.
Receiving instruments 2/3 will respond to MIDI data that is sent if their
receive channel is the same as the transmit channel of the transmitting
instrument a. If the channels do not match, the receiving instruments 2/3
will not respond to any data that is sent.
For both receiving and transmitting, channels 1-16 can be used.
Recording/playing with a sequencer
When connected to a sequencer (or a computer running MIDI sequencing
software), the NV10S/NV5S hybrid piano can be used to record and playback
multi-track songs, with separate sounds playing simultaneously on each
channel.
MIDI Functions
The NV10S/NV5S hybrid piano supports the following MIDI functions:
Transmit/receive note information| Transmit/receive program change

or device.| Transmit/receive program change data to/from a MIDI-connected

Entering the MIDI Settings menu
Tap the ≡ button in the top right corner of the screen to open the Menu.
Tap MIDI to enter the MIDI category.
1 MIDI Channel
The MIDI Channel setting allows the transmit/receive channel to be specified. The selected channel will function as both the transmit and receive channel (separate transmit/receive channels cannot be specified).
Changing the MIDI Channel
In the Play MIDI Channel area, tap the number buttons to select the
transmit/receive MIDI channel The MIDI channel can be set from 1 to 16.
Omni
mode
When the NV10S/NV5S hybrid piano is turned on, the instrument is automatically set to “Omni mode on”, allowing MIDI information to be received on all MIDI channels (1-16). When the MIDI Channel setting is used to specify a transmit/receive channel, the instrument will be set to “Omni mode off”.
Multi-timbral mode and Split/Dual modes
Using Split mode with Multi-timbral mode enabled| Using Dual-mode with Multi-
timbral mode enabled
---|---
Notes played in the lower section of the keyboard will be transmitted on the
channel that is 1 channel higher than the specified channel. For example, if
the MIDI channel is set to 3, notes played in the lower section of the
keyboard will be transmitted on channel 4.| Notes played will be transmitted
on two channels: the specified channel and the channel that is 1 channel
higher. For example, if the MIDI channel is set to 3, notes played on the
keyboard will be transmitted on channels 3 and 4.
- If the specified MIDI channel is 16, the lower section / layered part will be transmitted on channel 1.
2 Transmit Program Change Numbers
The Transmit Program Change Numbers setting determines whether the NV10S/NV5S hybrid piano will transmit program change information via MIDI when sounds are selected.
| Transmit PGM# | Multi-timbral setting | Effect of selecting sounds |
|---|---|---|
| On (default) | Off, On1 | Sound tab selections will send PGM# shown in the left |
column.
On| On2| Sound tab selections will send PGM# shown in the right column.
Off| Off| Program Change information will not be transmitted via MIDI.
Ref. “ Program Change Number List” P. 7.
Changing the Transmit Program Change Numbers setting
the Send Program Change area, tap the [On/Off ] button to turn the function
on/off.
3 Local Control
The Local Control setting determines whether the instrument will play an internal sound when the keys are pressed. This setting may be useful when using the NV10S/NV5S hybrid piano to control an external MIDI device that is connected to the instrument’s amplifier/speakers.
Local Control setting
| Local Control | Description |
|---|---|
| Off | The instrument will transmit information to an external MIDI device only. |
| On (default) | The instrument will play an internal sound and transmit |
information to an external MIDI device.
Changing the Local Control setting
In the Local On/Off area, tap the [On/Off ] button to turn the function
on/off.
4 Multi-timbral Mode
The Multi-timbral Mode setting determines whether or not the NV10S/NV5S
hybrid piano is able to receive MIDI information on more than one MIDI
channel simultaneously. This allows the instrument to play back multi-track,
multi-timbral performance data sent from an external MIDI device.
Multi-timbral Mode setting
| Multi-timbral Mode | Selected sound |
|---|---|
| Off (default) | The sound shown in the left column is selected*. |
| On1 | The sound shown in the left column is selected*. |
| On2 | The sound shown in the right column is selected*. |
Ref. “ Program Change Number List” P. 7.
Changing the Multi-timbral Mode setting
In the Multi Timbral Mode area, tap the < > buttons to select On1, On2, or
Off.
√ CHECK
Multi Timbral Mode will not be displayed when the “SK-EX Rendering” piano
sound variation is selected.
5 Channel On/Off
The Channel On/Off setting determines which MIDI channels (1~16) are activated to receive MIDI information when the Multi-timbral mode is enabled.
Changing the Channel On/Offsetting
In the Channel On/Off area, tap the number buttons to turn the MIDI channel
on/off.
