When a song is played back, the musical data of each se-
quence track and the musical data of each pattern specified
by the pattern track is transmitted to the tone generator block
and the MIDI OUT connectors according to the Out Chan-
nel settings of Song mode. ( p.103)
The data is transmitted to the tone generator block as speci-
fied by the Out Channel “TO TG” setting, and to the MIDI
OUT connectors on the channels specified by the “MIDI
OUT-A” / “MIDI OUT-B” settings.
Since the tone generator block has only 32 parts, it is not
able to simultaneously produce the sounds for the sequence
tracks of the sequencer block (32 tracks) as well as all of
the pattern tracks (16 tracks). However if you use an exter-
nal tone generator, you can make Out Channel settings so
that any 16 of the tracks are played back by the external
MIDI tone generator so that all tracks will playback simul-
taneously.
