Connecting to MIDI Devices
■ Set the MIDI Channel
MIDI features sixteen MIDI channels, numbered 1–16.
The connected devices must be set to use the same MIDI
channels, otherwise no sound will be produced.
In a setup where you wish to play the F-90 and also have
another MIDI-equipped instrument or sound module play
the same notes, you should first set the channel used for
reception on your external device to the same channel that
you have the F-90 set to use for transmission.
Upon power-up, the F-90 is set to Omni On (p. 23). This
means that if you are using a MIDI keyboard or MIDI
sequencer to play the F-90’s tones, messages will be received
on all channels, regardless of any MIDI channel settings. If
you want to receive only on a specific channel that a
connected MIDI device will be using, switch the F-90 to
Omni Off, then set the MIDI channel.
When the F-90 is turned on, Channel “1” is selected.
1. While holding down the [Variation], and [Demo]
buttons, press the appropriate key (C5–D#6) on
the keyboard.
The MIDI transmit channel and receive channel will
switch to the number that corresponds to the note you
pressed.
