MIDI Channels

MIDI data is assigned to one of sixteen MIDI channels. Using these channels, 1 – 16,

the performance data for sixteen different instrument parts can be simultaneously sent

over one MIDI cable.

Think of the MIDI channels as TV channels. Each TV station transmits its broadcasts

over a speciﬁc channel. Your home TV set receives many different programs

simultaneously from several TV stations and you select the appropriate channel to

watch the desired program.

MIDI operates on the same basic principle. The transmitting instrument sends MIDI

data on a speciﬁc MIDI channel (MIDI Transmit Channel) via a single MIDI cable to

the receiving instrument. If the receiving instrument’s MIDI channel (MIDI Receive

Channel) matches the Transmit Channel, the receiving instrument will sound

according to the data sent by the transmitting instrument.

The receive channel of the DDK-7 is ﬁxed at channel 1 for the Upper Keyboard,

channel 2 for the Lower Keyboard, and channel 3 for the Pedalboard. This means that

when you are using another MIDI device to play the DDK-7’s Voices, you must set the

MIDI transmit channel(s) of the connected device to match the receive channel(s) of

the DDK-7. You can select the transmit channel for each keyboard (Upper, Lower and

Pedal) from channels 1 – 16. See page 238 for more information.
