32P-80 F8MIDI Functions A Brief Introduction to MIDIMIDI, the Musical Instrument Digital Interface, is a world-standard communication interface that allows MIDI-compatible musical instruments and equipment to share musical information and control one another.

For example, most MIDI keyboards (including the P-80, of course) transmit...

33P-80 The Function Mode In any MIDI control setup, the MIDI channels of the transmitting and receiving equipment must be matched for proper data transfer. A “Multi-timbre” receive mode is also available, which allows simultaneous reception of different parts on all 16 MIDI channels, allowing the P-80 to play multi- channel song data received from a music computer or sequencer. There’s also a “1-2” mode which allows simultaneous reception on channels 1 and 2. Use the [–/NO] and [+/YES] buttons to...
