Is it possible to use M-Audio Keystation88 with SX-700 , as it Act exactly Like SX700 Interior Keyboard?
i want to play with accompaiments & take chords by M-Audio.
if yes, how can i set midi to achive that? please explain in detail?
Welcome to the PSR Tutorial Forum, Amirreza2000!
I recommend the following procedure:
1. Connect the MIDI OUT terminal of the Keystation to the MIDI IN of the SX700 using a standard 5-pin DIN MIDI cable and switch on both keyboards.
2. Make sure the Keystation is set to MIDI Transmit Channel 1.
3. Make sure that the preset MIDI template "All Parts" is set on the SX700 (in "Menu > MIDI"). Based on that, you now need to change a setting and then save a User MIDI template:
4. In the MIDI display touch the "Receive" tab. Make sure you are now on page "1/4".
5. Now change the entry "
Port1 Ch1" in the "
Part" column from "Song" to "
Keyboard" in the first line of the list. You should now be able to play the SX700 with the Keystation keyboard just as you would with the internal SX700 keyboard.
6. Optional: Touch the ► icon to switch to the other list page and
in the first line of the list, i.e. again at "Port1 Ch1"
remove the checkmarks in the columns "
CC" (= Control Change" and "
PC". (This prevents the SX700
Registrations from being changed by Bank Select MSB/LSB and Program Change commands from the Keystation.)
7. Touch the ◄ icon to return to the original list page (where "Port1 Ch1" is set to the "Keyboard" Part).
8. Touch the "
Save" icon and save the modified MIDI template in the User drive with a meaningful name (e.g. "Keystation").
9. Make sure that the newly saved MIDI template is now actually
activated (instead of "All Parts" before).
10. Close the MIDI display by pressing the
Exit button or touching the
X icon.
11. Done!
Hope this helps!
Best regards,
Chris
