MIDI Settings
Setting the Bass Note for Style Playback
via MIDI Receive
The explanations here apply to the BASS display to be
called up in step 4 of the “Basic Operation” on
page 177.
These settings let you determine the bass note for Style
playback, based on the note messages received via
MIDI. The note on/off messages received at the chan-
nel(s) set to “ON” are recognized as the bass note of the
chord of Style playback. The bass note will be detected
regardless of the [ACMP] or split point settings. When
several channels are simultaneously set to “ON,” the
bass note is detected from merged MIDI data received
over the channels.
Operation
Select the channel and set the “ON/OFF” for that chan-
nel. Use the All OFF item to set all channels to OFF.
Setting the Chord Type for Style Play-
back via MIDI Receive
The explanations here apply to the CHORD DETECT
display to be called up in step 4 of the “Basic Opera-
tion” on page 177.
These settings let you determine the chord type for Style
playback, based on the note messages received via
MIDI. The note on/off messages received at the chan-
nel(s) set to “ON” are recognized as the notes for
detecting chords in Style playback. The chords to be
detected depend on the fingering type. The chord type
will be detected regardless of the [ACMP] or split point
settings. When several channels are simultaneously set
to “ON,” the chord type is detected from merged MIDI
data received over the channels.
The operation procedure is basically the same as that of
the BASS display.

• The numbers displayed here start from “1.” Accordingly the
actual MIDI program change numbers are one lower, since
that number system starts from “0.”
• For the GS Voices, this feature is not available (the program
change numbers are not shown).
