Enabling/disabling control change transmission/
reception filtering
Messages, such as operation of the SP-280’s damper pedal,
can be transmitted to a connected external MIDI device to
control it, and these messages can be received from the ex-
ternal MIDI device to control the SP-280.
To transmit/receive control change messages, disable this
function (oFF: default setting). To not transmit/receive the
messages, enable this function (on).
• Enter the MIDI function mode, and then press the
E.PIANO2 button.
The LED for the E.PIANO2 sound button lights up, and
the setting (oFF) appears in the display.
Using the SP-280 as a multi-timbral sound module
The SP-280 can operate as a 16-part multi-timbral sound
module when an external MIDI device is used to control
its internal sound generator.
1. Connect a MIDI cable to the SP-280’s MIDI IN con-
nector and to the MIDI OUT connector of a sequencer
or other MIDI device.
2. Transmit MIDI data from the connected sequencer or
other MIDI device.
For details on transmitting data from the connected
sequencer or other MIDI device, refer to its user’s man-
ual.
3. When the SP-280 receives the program change mes-
sage along with the performance data, it will play
with the sound corresponding to that program num-
ber.
If the SP-280 is not to be used as a multi-timbral sound
module, disable this function (oFF).
• Enter the MIDI function mode, and then press the
HARPSI/CLAV button.
The LED for the HARPSI/CLAV sound button lights up,
and the setting (on: default setting) appears in the dis-
play.
Enabling/disabling program change transmis-
sion/reception filtering
The programs on a connected MIDI device can be changed
by sending a MIDI change number from the SP-280. In
addition, the programs on the SP-280 can be changed by
receiving a MIDI change number from a connected MIDI
device.
For program change numbers and their corresponding
sounds, refer to “Table of sounds and corresponding pro-
gram change numbers” below.
To transmit/receive program change messages, disable this
function (oFF: default setting). To not transmit/receive the
messages, enable this function (on).
• Enter the MIDI function mode, and then press the
E.PIANO1 button.
The LED for the E.PIANO1 sound button lights up, and
the setting (oFF) appears in the display.
Transmitting program changes
When a sound is selected using the sound buttons and
BANK button on the SP-280, the corresponding MIDI pro-
gram change number is transmitted.
Receiving program changes
When the SP-280 receives a MIDI program change number,
the sound is changed to the corresponding one.
If an incompatible program change number is re-
ceived, the SP-280 sound is not changed.
