Channel
MIDI data from the keyboard can be sent on any of 16 MIDI Channels. However, certain MIDI devices and
software require transmission of MIDI data on a specific channel number. If this is the case, you can change
the MIDI channel number as described below.
To change the MIDI Channel number:
1. Press the Edit button to enter Edit Mode. The Edit button will illuminate to full brightness.
2. Press the "DATA = CHANNEL" (named C#, 6th black key from the left). The Edit button light will return
to half-brightness.
3. Press the Octave/Data "+" or "-" button to step upwards or downwards through the MIDI Channel
numbers.
Pressing both the "+" and "-" buttons together will recall Channel 1. When Channel 16 is reached and "+" is
pressed, Channel 1 will be selected. The "+" and "-" button LEDs will not change, since it is not possible to
have a Channel with a negative value. For example, if a device specifies that you need to send data on
Channel 10, press the + button nine times to change from the channel 1 to select Channel 10.
The Data=Channel value is retained when the keyboard is turned off.
Tuning
The Tuning function can be used to alter the instrument being controlled to have its pitch shifted to be slightly
sharp or slightly flat. The default Tuning value is 64, and it can be raised to 128 or lowered to 0 as described
below.
Check your third party hardware or software documentation to confirm that your sound source responds to
"MIDI Master Tune."
To assign the "+" and "-" keys to control the Tuning function:
1. Press the Edit button to enter into Edit Mode. The Edit button light will illuminate to full brightness.
2. Press the "DATA = TUNING" key (D#, seventh black key from the right). The Edit button will return to
half-brightness. The Oct/Data "+" button will illuminate green, and the "-" button will be red.
3. Press "+" or "-" while continuing to play notes until the instrument is tuned to the pitch that you want.
Selecting a value below the default setting of 64, changes the Oct/Data "-" button from red to green.
Selecting a value greater than 64, changes the Oct/Data "+" button from red to
To return the tuning to the default setting (concert pitch):
Press the Oct/Data "-" and "+" buttons simultaneously. Both buttons will return to their default value of red at
half-brightness.
