nIn the Song/Pattern mode, the MIDI data created by playing the keyboard/knobs/wheels is sent to the tone generator block or the external MIDI devices via the MIDI output channel of the currently selected track.

•Port

Determines the MIDI transmission port for the corresponding track. This is useful for sending data to external tone generators over multiple MIDI ports in an extended MIDI setup. Keep in mind that this parameter can only be set for tracks having assignments to Plug-in parts 1 - 3 (for installed single-part boards) or Plug-in parts 17 -32 (for installed multi-part boards). Tracks using the internal tone generator parts of the MOTIF are automatically fixed at port 1.

❏ Settings off, 01 ~ 03

nPort data can be output only through the USB terminal. No port data is transmitted through the MIDI OUT terminal, even if the corresponding track is set to a specific port number.

●[F4] Song Play Track Loop

From this display you can determine whether the data in the selected track loops or not in playback. Using Loop can be an effective way to repeat short patterns and phrases throughout the song.

Track 1

(40 measures of data)

Track 2

(4 measures of data)

The four-measure data is repeated ten times.
