fig.6-05
3. Turn [PATCH/VALUE] to specify the channel.
Pad CH: 1–16, OFF
Specify the channel on which performance data of the pad
controller section (pads, D Beam, ribbons, external triggers)
will be transmitted and received. Normally you will set this
to channel 10.
Perc 1 CH: 1–16, OFF
Specify the channel for percussion part 1 of the internal
sequencer. Normally you will set this to channel 11.
Perc 2 CH: 1–16, OFF
Specify the channel for percussion part 2 of the internal
sequencer. Normally you will set this to channel 12.
Melo 1 CH: 1–16, OFF
Specify the channel for melody part 1 of the internal
sequencer. Normally you will set this to channel 5.
Melo 2 CH: 1–16, OFF
Specify the channel for melody part 2 of the internal
sequencer. Normally you will set this to channel 6.
At a setting of “1” through “16,” MIDI messages will be
transmitted and received on that channel. A setting of “OFF”
lets you turn off transmission and reception for that part, so
that notes are not received.
* When you are finished setting, press [SYSTEM] or [EXIT].
For more on synchronization with external sequencer, refer
to “Synchronizing the Internal Sequencer with an External
MIDI Device” in “Settings for the Basic Operation” (p. 68).
