Overall Functions
■ Remote Channel
..........................................................................................................................................
Sets the MIDI channel on which data from a remote keyboard will be
received. Any of the standard MIDI channels — 1 through 16 — can be
specified. The remote keyboard must be set up to transmit on the specified
remote channel, and the keyboard’s MIDI OUT connector must be con-
nected to the PSR-320/420 MIDI IN connector via a standard MIDI cable.
Refer to the “MIDI Implementation Chart” section (page 68) for technical
details. When set to “oFF” data is received on all 16 MIDI channels. The
default setting — “oFF” — can be recalled by pressing the [–/NO] and [+/
YES] buttons simultaneously.
• Remote Channel is automatically
turned off when a MIDI “GM ON”
message is received.
• The Remote channel setting is
retained in memory even when
the power switch is turned off, as
long as batteries are installed or
an AC adaptor is connected.

● MIDI Sequence Recording
Although the PSR-320/420 features a built-in “sequencer (the SONG
recorder is a type of sequencer), the same type of musical information
transfer described above can be used for more sophisticated MIDI se-
quence recording using an external sequencer or music computer. A
MIDI sequence recorder or music computer can be used to “record”
MIDI data received from a PSR-320/420, for example. When the re-
corded data is played back, the PSR-320/420 automatically “plays” the
recorded performance in precise detail. • Never use MIDI cables longer
than about 15 meters. Cables
longer than this can pick up noise
which can cause data errors.

The PSR-320/420 is capable of receiving the same MIDI data, so a sec-
ond MIDI keyboard connected to the PSR-320/420 MIDI IN connector
can be used to remotely play the PSR-320/420 and select voices as re-
quired.
