 MIDI SYSTEM 

(Remote Control Mode Only)

• Local

“Local Control” refers to the fact that, normally, the

PSR-5700 keyboard controls its internal tone generator,

allowing the internal voices to be played directly from the

keyboard. This situation is “Local Control ON” since the

internal tone generator is controlled locally by its own

keyboard. Local control can be turned off, however, so

that the PSR-5700 keyboard does not play the internal

voices, but the appropriate MIDI information is still trans-

mitted via the MIDI OUT connector when notes are

played on the keyboard. At the same time, the internal

tone generator responds to MIDI information received via

the MIDI IN connector. This means that while an external

sequencer or MIDI computer, for example, plays the PSR-

5700’s internal voices, an external tone generator can be

played from the PSR-5700 keyboard.

Local control cannot be turned ON or OFF during sequencer

recording.

• TransposeAddNote

When this parameter is turned “OFF”, the transmitted

MIDI note data will not be affected by the PSR-5700

transpose setting. When “ON,” the transmitted notes will

be transposed in accordance with the PSR-5700 transpose

setting. The reverse is true for reception: when “ON” re-

ceived note data is not transposed; when “OFF” received

note data is transposed.

• SplitSnd/Out

When the SplitSnd (split send) parameter is turned

“ON,” the setting of the “Out” parameter determines

whether MIDI note data from the left-hand (“Left”), right-

hand (“Right”), or both sections of the keyboard (“L&R”)

are transmitted via the MIDI OUT connector. You could

choose to transmit only the right-hand data so that only

notes played on the right-hand section of the keyboard are

reproduced via an external tone generator, for example.

When turned “OFF” data from the entire keyboard is

transmitted on the basic transmit channel.

Purpose:

These three display screens provide access to a number of

important MIDI system “switches” — internal or external

clock synchronization, local control on/off, transpose data

transmission on/off, and split mode data transmission on/off.

Procedure:

Use the [

] and [

>

] buttons to switch between display

screens, and the [-] and [+] buttons below each parameter to

select the desired state for each parameter.

Notes:

The various system parameters operate as follows:

• Clock

The “INT” (internal) clock setting is the normal setting

when the PSR-5700 is being used alone. If you are using

the PSR-5700 with an external sequencer, MIDI compu-

ter, or other MIDI device, and you want the PSR-5700 to

be synchronized to the external device, set this function to

“EXT” (external). In the latter case, the external device

must be connected to the PSR-5700 MIDI IN connector,

and must be transmitting an appropriate MIDI clock sig-

nal.
