Introduction to MIDI |529
Global, Control and Chord channels
The Control channel
You can set a MIDI IN channel as the Control channel (in the Settings > Menu >
MIDI > MIDI IN Channels page), to select Styles, Keyboard Sets and SongBook
Entries from an external device (see the Appendix for a list of messages corre-
sponding to the internal data of Pa5X). On this channel you can also send controls
to start/stop the Players, and select the Style Elements (see later in this part).
A MIDI OUT channel set as the Control channel (set in the
Settings > Menu >
MIDI > MIDI OUT Channels page) can be used to send messages when selecting
SongBook Entries.
The Global channel
Any MIDI channel can be set as a Global channel (in the Settings > Menu > MIDI
> MIDI IN Channels page), and can simulate the Pa5X integrated keyboard. When
Pa5X is connected to a master keyboard, transmission should usually take place
over the Global channel of Pa5X.
MIDI messages received over a Global channel are affected by the status of the
SPLIT button, as well as by the split point. Therefore, if the SPLIT button’s indi-
cator is lit up, notes arriving to Pa5X over this channel will be divided by the split
point into the Upper (above the split point) and Lower (below the split point) parts.
Notes received on a Global channel are used for the chord recognition of the au-
tomatic accompaniment. If the
SPLIT indicator is turned on, only the notes below
(Lower scan mode) or above (Upper scan mode) the split point will be used.
