Enabling MIDI transmission

We described in the previous section how the P-100 normally transmits channel voice messages for the notes you play

on the keyboard. The LED above the [MIDI] button remains lit while this function is enabled to remind you that the

P-100 is transmitting. Should you wish to turn this function off for some reason, there is an easy way to do so: just

press the [MIDI] button.

When you press the [MIDI] button, the LED will go out, indicating

that MIDI transmission has been disabled. This will prevent

transmission of channel voice messages on both channels (Tch and

Tch+l) when you’re playing in Split mode. It will not affect the

transmission of bulk dumps, however; nor will it block the recep-

tion of data from the MIDI IN jack.

To re-enable transmission, simply press the [MIDI] button again.

Keep in mind, though, that you cannot enable transmission by

pressing the [MIDI] button if the transmit channel (Tch) has been

turned off. (The procedure for selecting a transmit channel is

described on page 32.)

Selecting a MIDI velocity curve

The P-100 lets you assign a separate velocity curve for data transmitted from the MIDI OUT terminal. This allows the

P-100 to interpret the velocities of the notes you play differently for an external tone generator than it does for its

internal voices.

You might want to try this feature, for example, to play the internal STRINGS voice together with a brass sound

produced by an external tone generator. By using the SOFT velocity curve with the STRINGS voice and the HARD

curve with the brass, you could have the brass keep a low profile while you’re playing normally, then suddenly blare

out when you hit a note hard, creating a dramatic orchestral effect.

The procedure for selecting a MIDI velocity curve is the same as

that described on page 20, except that you must press

[MODULATION] rather than the [REVERB] button while holding

down the [MIDI] button. A dot will appear in the lower right

comer of the display to indicate that you have selected the MIDI

velocity curve setting.

Press the [MODULATION] button repeatedly without releasing the

[MIDI] button. The P-100 will cycle through the possible velocity

curve settings: normal, soft, hard, and fixed.

When the name of the desired curve appears, release the [MIDI]

button. The P-100 will display the new setting for about a second,

then exit the function automatically.
