170 Reference
On the 9000Pro, 16 channels of MIDI data can be transmitted/received over a single MIDI cable, or over a serial
cable (using the TO HOST terminal). Since the 9000Pro features two independent MIDI “ports” (A and B), a total
of 32 MIDI channels can be used simultaneously.
For example, several tracks can be transmitted simultaneously, including the auto accompaniment data (as shown below).
As you can see, it is essential to determine which data is to be sent over which MIDI channel when transmitting
MIDI data (page 175).
● Record performance data (1-16 channels) using the 9000Pro Auto Accompaniment fea-
tures on a external sequencer (such as a personal computer). After recording, you can
then edit the data with the sequencer, then play it again on the 9000Pro (playback).

• Although the 9000Pro can
receive MIDI data over 32
channels simultaneously, as a
multi-timbral sound source/
tone generator it actually
responds to only 28 channels
simultaneously. This is
because the MIDI Receive
Mode for the MIDI B port (page
176) cannot be set to “XG/GM.”
