■ DEVICE NO (Device Number)
This sets the MIDI device number. When transmitting or
receiving system exclusive messages such as bulk dump or
parameter change messages with an external MIDI device,
you must set the CS2x and the external device to the same
device number.
Settings
Device No.: 1 ~ 16, all, off
■ LOCAL
This determines whether the CS2x’s keyboard is connected
to the internal tone generator. For normal play, LOCAL
should be set to “on”. When using the CS2x as a master
keyboard controller for sending note and other data to a
MIDI music sequencer, LOCAL should be set to “off”. When
LOCAL is set to “off”, the keyboard is disconnected from the
tone generator, the CS2x’s internal tone generator will not
respond to the keyboard (no sound will be produced) when
you play, but the keyboard still transmits MIDI messages
from the MIDI OUT terminal. At the same time, the CS2x’s
internal tone generator will respond to incoming MIDI data
received at the MIDI IN terminal from an external device.

Local: on, off

MIDI
The MIDI parameters determine key aspects of how the
CS2x exchanges data with an external MIDI device. There
are five parameters: TRANS CH (Transmit Channel), RCV
CH (Receive Channel), DEVICE NO (Device Number),
LOCAL and BULK DUMP.
■ TRANS CH (Transmit Channel)
This sets the MIDI transmit channel over which the CS2x
will send MIDI data to an external MIDI device such as a
sequencer.
Settings
Trans Ch: 1 ~ 16
n You can use the CS2x to send data to an external MIDI device such
as a music sequencer. For details, see page 12.
■ RCV CH (Receive Channel)
In Performance mode, this sets the MIDI receive channel for
controlling the CS2x by an external device such as a MIDI
sequencer or computer music software application.
In Multi Play mode, the CS2x resets the internal tone
generator to XG ON (001 Grand Piano) status and
automatically receives the external data.
Settings
Perf Rch: LAYER A (“All” Performance Layer voices) = Channel 1 ~ 16, PART
5~16 = Channel 1 ~ 16, off
n In Performance mode, the receive channels can be set for receiving
MIDI note and other data to play the Performance Layer plus 12
Parts (Part 5 ~ 16) as set up for the Multi (see Multi Play mode).
However, you cannot use the Insertion effect for Parts 5 ~ 16 (see
Digital Effects, page 70).
n To select the Layer (“A”) or Part (“5 ~ 16”) which you want to assign
a MIDI channel to, use the PART/LAYER [-]/[+] buttons.
