MIDI Message Transmission

When you modify a value (other than Voice) in the INFO display, the MIDI message of the modified value will be transmitted to the internal sound source and to external MIDI devices. The way in which the message will be transmitted will depend on the settings of the currently selected Performance.

If you have selected a Single-type Performance, the MIDI message will be transmitted to the specified Part, and will simultaneously be transmitted to external MIDI devices on the MIDI channel of that Part.

If you have selected a Layer-type Performance, the MIDI message will be transmitted to all Parts whose Tx parameter (PERFORM/MIDI/MIDI) is turned on, and will also be transmitted to external MIDI devices on the MIDI channel of each of these Parts.
