Use INSTRUMENT[l][r] to modify the device ID number.
Simultaneously press both the PART[l][r] buttons. Use [u][d] to select “Device ID”.

■Device ID number settings

The Device ID number is an identification number used when transmitting and receiving exclusive messages (p.133). This unit receives exclusive messages only if its own device ID number matches the device ID number of the message. This means that if you wish to transmit exclusive messages between devices, you must make sure that their device ID numbers match.

The device ID number is a number from 1 — 32. With the factory settings the number is 17.

*If you wish to playback Roland SMF music data, be sure that the device ID number is set to 17. If it is not, playback will not be correct.

*It is not possible to specify the device ID number separately for individual Parts.

About MIDI implementation charts

MIDI allows many different types of device to be connected, but in some cases there will be types of message which cannot be conveyed meaningfully. For example if you wish to use keyboard aftertouch to control the sound but the sound generator connected to the keyboard does not receive aftertouch messages, you will not get the musical result you intend. In this way, only messages that are used by both devices will actually be conveyed.

The MIDI specification requires that the owner's manual for each MIDI device include a “MIDI Implementation Chart” (p.209) that shows the types of MIDI message which are actually transmitted and received by a device. Place the transmit column of the transmitting device's implementation chart side by side with the receive column of the receiving device's implementation chart. Messages which are marked as“O” in both charts can be conveyed successfully. If either chart shows a “X” for a certain type of message, that message cannot be conveyed.

For your reference, the data format for exclusive messages and other details of this unit MIDI implementation are given on p.188 and following.
