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-1600 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.
