Chapter 4 MIDI Setups Mode
Up to now you�ve been operating your Stage Piano exclusively in Internal Voices mode (unless of course you�re like most readers and have tried MIDI Setups mode anyway). You�ve learned that you can set the physical controllers, like ribbons and pedals, to transmit to desired MIDI destination numbers; transpose the keyboard; send a MIDI Program Change; specify the MIDI channel; and set the effects for each of the 32 interval voices. This entire collection of information, along with a sound and an effect, constitutes the Internal Voices Setup, which you can save in memory. Now imagine 32 of these setups, each of which can have different parameter settings, that can be called up at the press of a button. Then further imagine that each setup is split into two parts, each of which has all of these setup parameters but is active only over a part of the keyboard range. What you have imagined is MIDI Setups mode, which we�ll explain next.

Selecting Setups
First you�ll need to switch to MIDI Setups mode. Check that all of the LEDs to the left of the display are off meaning you�re in Play mode. If they are not, press the Play/Edit button until they go out. Next check the LED beneath the display labeled MIDI Setups. If it is off, press the Internal/Setup button to change to MIDI Setups mode and illuminate the LED. If the display shows a question about saving (like su sa/), and you don�t know what that means, refer to Saving The Edited Parameters on page 3-8, or just press the No arrow button. Now you�re in MIDI Setups mode and can select different MIDI Setups the same way you selected different sounds before. The sound associated with each MIDI Setup is programmable, so it doesn�t necessarily correspond to the labels above the Sound/Setup Select buttons (although the factory-default MIDI Setups do correspond). For this reason, it�s good to think of MIDI Setups in terms of numbers (which are printed below the buttons and shown on the display) rather than names. See below for more on the sound and the two external MIDI programs that are associated with each MIDI Setup. NOTE: The sound associated with a setup may be different from the name printed above its select button. One other note about selection of MIDI Setups: it may be important to avoid passing through an intermediate setup when switching to an even-numbered (green) setup. By performing the necessary two button presses rapidly, the Stage Piano logic will skip the odd (red) setup entirely. Practice this a few times; you�ll be able to see whether the red selection is skipped. You don�t have to be super-quick; a tempo about like doubleclicking a computer mouse is suf�cient.
