Set the MIDI Channel

MIDI features sixteen MIDI channels, numbered 1-16. Even after the MIDI cables are connected, the connected devices must be set to use the same MIDI channels, otherwise no sound will be produced. When the DP-1000 is turned on, Channel “1” is selected.

To make the setting, while holding down

the [Key Touch/Demo Song] button, press

any key from C5 to D#6.

The sequence of keys C5-D#6 corresponds to MIDI Channels 1-16. Refer to “Functions Assigned to the Keyboard” (p. 24).

Local On/Off

With the keyboard connected to a MIDI sequencer, keyboard performances can be recorded to the sequencer; the sequencer can also be used to play back performances.

With the sequencer’s “Thru” function on, the same notes may be sounded twice.

This is because the keyboard’s performance data arrives at the sound generator via two different routes, (1) and (2). This can cause the sound to become strange, and also puts strain on the instrument’s polyphonic capabilities. To prevent this from happening, route (1) must be separated, by means of what is called “Local Off.”
