The volume of the metronome sound can be changed. After selecting “F6”, use the [–/NO] and

A setting of “1” produces minimum sound, while a setting of “20” produces maximum metronome
volume. Press the [–/NO] and [+/YES] buttons simultaneously to recall the default setting “10”.
This function sets the volume at which a “canceled” part is played during preset song playback

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. This makes it possible to create “systems” of MIDI instruments and equipment that offer far
greater versatility and control than is available with isolated instruments. For example, most MIDI keyboards
(including the P-80, of course) transmit...

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...

F8.5: Control Change ON/OFF......................................................................................................
Normally the P-80 will respond to MIDI control change data received from an external
MIDI device or keyboard, causing the voice on the corresponding channel to be affected by
pedal and other “control” settings received from the controlling device (the keyboard voice is
not affected). The P-80 also transmits MIDI control change information when the...

Connecting to a Personal Computer
Although the P-80 can be connected to a personal computer via the MIDI IN/
OUT connectors and a MIDI interface, the TO HOST connector and HOST
SELECT switch allow direct connection to Apple Macintosh or IBM-PC/AT per-
sonal computers for sequencing and other music applications without the need
for a separate MIDI interface.
Connect the TO HOST connector of the P-80 to the modem or
printer port on your Macintosh, depending on which port your
MIDI software is using...

Connecting to an IBM-PC/AT Series Computer......
Connect the TO HOST connector of the P-80 to the RS-232C port on
your IBM computer, using a standard 8-pin MINI DIN → 9-pin D-SUB
cross cable. Set the HOST SELECT switch to the “PC-2” position.
Refer to your software owner’s manual for information on any
settings you might have to make on the computer side.

Factory Preset Recall
All dual mode, split mode, reverb, effect, touch sensitivity, tuning set-
tings, and the settings affected by the Backup Functions can be restored to
their original factory preset values by holding the C7 key (rightmost key on
the keyboard) while turning the [STANDBY/ON] switch ON. This also erases
all user song recorder data, and sets all Backup on/off settings (F9) to “OFF”.
NOTE•The factory setting list is found on page 40.
