Channel (Chan)

This parameter determines the control channel and is available only when RecTrk is set to None or Mult. When RecTrk is Mult, this parameter appears only if you have entered Song mode from Program mode. In this case, the Channel parameter gets squeezed onto the same line as the Program parameter, which is why you don’t see the Program parameter’s name, just its value.

Setup

Displays the ID and name of the setup to be recorded. This parameter is available when RecTrk is Mult, and you enter Song mode from Setup mode. The display diagram below shows an example of the Song-mode page with the Setup parameter replacing the Channel and Program parameters.

Using setups in Song mode takes a bit of extra planning. Since each zone in a setup uses a separate MIDI channel, you need to make sure that each setup zone has a corresponding track and channel allocation. It’s important to know how many channels, and consequently how many tracks, are needed for recording a particular setup. Each setup can have up to eight zones that can respond to your playing differently, depending on what range of the keyboard is being played, or if certain velocity and/or controller values determines when a particular zone will respond. Be aware of the behavior of each setup you intend to record so that you can allocate the proper tracks and channels needed in your song.
