[F6] Utility & MIDI
* The [
s
] and [
t
] page buttons can be used to access the
volume control screen for all channels.
Use the left [-] and [+] buttons to move the cursor to the
channel for which the volume is to be adjusted, then use the
right [-] and [+] buttons to adjust the volume. The longer the
graphic bar on the display, the higher the volume.
The numbers across the top of the display above the bar
graphs correspond to the MIDI channels. From left to right
the channels are 1 through 9, “R” is channel 10 (the rhythm
channel), and numbers 1 through 6 to the right of “R” corre-
spond to channels 11 through 16.

MIDI CHANNEL SETTING
The contents of this page are different depending on whether the Remote
Control mode or the DOC/GM mode is selected.
Purpose:
Sets the basic transmit, basic receive, split transmit,
rhythm receive, and individual sequencer track transmit
channels.
Procedure:
In the first display screen the left [-] and [+] buttons select
the basic transmit channel (1 … 16) and the right [-] and [+]
buttons select the basic receive channel (1 … 16, All).
In the second display screen the left [-] and [+] buttons
select the split (left-hand) transmit channel (1 … 16) and the
right [-] and [+] buttons select the rhythm receive channel (1
… 16).
In the third display screen the left [-] and [+] buttons se-
lect a sequencer track number (1 … 7) and the right [-] and
[+] buttons select the transmit channel (1 … 16) for that
track.
Notes:
The various channel settings are as follows:
• Transmit
This setting is the same in the Remote Control and
DOC/GM modes. It determines the basic channel on
which all PSR-5700 data will be transmitted.
• Receive
The receive channel setting is the same in the Remote
Control and DOC/GM modes, except that in the DOC/GM
mode only MIDI system exclusive messages will be re-
ceived. The receive channel is the basic channel on which
the PSR-5700 will receive all MIDI data. If set to “All,”
data can be received via all 16 MIDI channels.
• SplitTrn
The split transmit channel functions only in the Remote
Control mode. This is the channel on which left-hand
performance data (i.e. data produced by playing keys to
the left of the split point) will be transmitted. Right-hand
performance data is transmitted on the basic transmit
channel specified in the first display screen.
• RhmRcv
This setting is the same in the Remote Control and
DOC/GM modes. It specifies an independent MIDI chan-
nel via which the PSR-5700’s rhythm (drums and percus-
sion) can be controlled. This means you can, for example,
play the selected voice via the basic receive channel while
simultaneously playing the rhythm instruments via a dif-
ferent channel (i.e. the RhmRcv channel).
