Part Channels

To each of this unit's 32 Parts, there is assigned an instrument and also a Channel. Channels are a concept used in MIDI to distinguish notes that should be played by different instruments in an ensemble. Normally, there is no need to change the channel of a Part when using this unit. However it may sometimes be interesting to set two Parts to the same channel so that two sounds will simultaneously play the same musical line. To change the MIDI channel of a Part, use the following procedure.

*For detail about MIDI, refer to p.130.

Procedure

1. Make sure that the [ALL] indicator is dark.

If it is lit, press the [ALL] button to turn it off.

*If you operate the MIDI CH [l] [r] buttons while the [ALL] indicator is lit, the MIDI channel of a Patch (p.41) will be changed. Be careful.

2.Use the PART [l] [r] buttons to select the Part whose channel you wishto change.

When you press the PART [l] [r] buttons, the Part number will change as “A01..A16 B01..B16”. If you select a Drum Part, a “*” mark will appear in front of the Drum Set name.

3.Use the MIDI CH [l] [r] buttons to set the MIDI channel of the Part.

When you press the MIDI CH [l ] [r ] buttons, the MIDI channel will change as

A01..A16 A-- B01..B16 B--”. Select the desired MIDI channel. Parts for which you select A--, B-- will ignore all MIDI messages except Exclusive messages.

*To switch between the A and B, simultaneously press both KEY SHIFT [r] and MIDI CH [l]
