MIDII I Functionsi

On the 9000Pro, 16 channels of MIDI data can be transmitted/received over a single MIDI cable, or over a serial cable (using the TO HOST terminal). Since the 9000Pro features two independent MIDI “ports” (A and B), a total of 32 MIDI channels can be used simultaneously.

For example, several tracks can be transmitted simultaneously, including the auto accompaniment data (as shown below).

•Although the 9000Pro can receive MIDI data over 32 channels simultaneously, as a multi-timbral sound source/ tone generator it actually responds to only 28 channels simultaneously. This is because the MIDI Receive Mode for the MIDI B port (page 176) cannot be set to “XG/GM.”

As you can see, it is essential to determine which data is to be sent over which MIDI channel when transmitting MIDI data (page 175).

What You Can Do With MIDI

●Record performance data (1-16 channels) using the 9000Pro Auto Accompaniment fea- tures on a external sequencer (such as a personal computer). After recording, you can then edit the data with the sequencer, then play it again on the 9000Pro (playback).
