Optimus MD-1200 - Manual (Page 23)

23
This chart shows the parts assigned to
each channel.
Notes:
• Normally, keyboard play is assigned
to Channel 1 and the drum pads are
assigned to Channel 10. When you
use auto accompaniment, each part
is assigned to Channels 7–10.
• When you use the MD-1200 as the
sound source for another MIDI
device, all 16 channels are assigned
musical instrument parts (Channel
10 is reserved for drum parts only,
per MIDI standard).
• The mixer settings also affect the
corresponding MIDI output.
