● Receive Mode
The “ReceiveMode” function specifies the receive mode for the channel selected
via the Receive Channel function, above. The receive mode settings are as follows:
• MIDI receive mode
settings will be re-
tained even after turn-
ing the power off. See
page 152 for the de-
tails.
• The initial default set-
ting for all channels is
“Normal.”
• In the Record mode,
the Receive mode
cannot be set.
Normal Received MIDI data is sent directly to the PSR-730/630 tone generator. If all
channels are set to “Normal”, the PSR-730/630 functions as a 16-channel
multi-timbral tone generator.
Off No MIDI data is received on channels set to “Off”.
Remote Received MIDI data is handled in the same way as data generated by the
PSR-730/630’s own keyboard. In other words, a remote keyboard could be
used to control the PSR-730/630 AUTO ACCOMPANIMENT functions, etc.
Bass The note on/off messages received at the channel(s) set to “Bass” are
recognized as the bass notes in the accompaniment section. The bass notes
will be detected regardless of the accompaniment on/off and split point
settings on the PSR-730/630 panel.
Chord The note on/off messages received at the channel(s) set to “Chord” are
recognized as the fingerings in the accompaniment section. The chords to
be detected depend on the fingering mode on the PSR-730/630. The chords
will be detected regardless of the accompaniment on/off and split point
settings on the PSR-730/630 panel.

■ Local Control
“Local Control” refers to the fact that, normally, the PSR-730/630 keyboard
controls the internal tone generator, allowing the internal voices to be played directly
from the keyboard. This situation is “Local Control on” since the internal tone
generator is controlled locally by its own keyboard. Local control can be turned off,
however, so that the keyboard does not play the internal voices, but the appropriate
MIDI information is still transmitted via the MIDI OUT connector when notes are
played on the keyboard. At the same time, the internal tone generator can respond to
MIDI information received on channels set to the “Normal” mode via the MIDI IN
connector. This means that while an external MIDI sequencer, for example, plays the
PSR-730/630 internal voices, an external tone generator can be played from the PSR-
730/630 keyboard. The default Local Control setting is “On”.
