To send MIDI data from your keyboard,
use a MIDI cable to connect the Con-
certmate 980’s
MIDI OUT
terminal to the
other device’s MIDI IN terminal.
To receive MIDI data on your keyboard,
use a MIDI cable to connect the Con-
certmate 980’s
MIDI IN
terminal to the
other device’s MIDI OUT terminal.
Note:
You do not need to make both
connections if you are only either send-
ing or receiving.
MIDI DATA
Your Concertmate 980 can send and re-
ceive several different types of MIDI da-
ta. The Concertmate 980’s tones,
rhythms, and other types of MIDI data
are sent automatically as you play.
Notes:
• The Concertmate 980’s prerecorded
tunes cannot be sent as MIDI data.
• For detailed specifications of the
MIDI function, see the “MIDI Imple-
mentation Chart” on Page 36.
Note On/Off
—
specifies which keys are
pressed (Note On) or released (Note
Off). Also includes how loud a note is
played as a value from 0 to 127.
Notes:
• The pitch of a note depends on the
tone that is being used, as shown in
the “Note Table” on Page 34.
• If the keyboard receives a “request”
to play notes outside of its range
(higher or lower), it automatically
selects the same note in the nearest
octave.

specifies the tone.
The keyboard sends program change
data in the range of 0 to 99, correspond-
ing to tone numbers. It receives data
within the same range if GM tone map-
ping is set to N, or in the range of 0 to
127 if GM tone mapping is set to G. In
the latter case, tones in the range of 100
to 127 are translated to the closest tone
that the keyboard has.
Pitch Bend
—
supplies pitch bend infor-
mation. The keyboard’s pitch changes
as it receives a Pitch Bend message
through the
MIDI
IN
terminal.
Control Chan

—
adds effects such
as vibrato and volume changes applied
during keyboard play. The message in-
cludes a control number (the effect type)
and a control value (the on/off and depth
of the effect).
