■Inputting channel/block data

If a system exclusive message includes a channel or GS block number, here’s how to specify the type and the value of the upper bits. For the channel and block number, the setting of the current channel (p. 118) will be inserted as the lower bits. (The block number is not actually a channel, but corresponds to the “part” within a GS sound module. On the PCR-30/50/80, this corresponds to the channel for the sake of convenience.)
