By default, the pads are set to send MIDI notes on Channel 10, which is commonly reserved
for drums and percussion in the General MIDI (GM) specification. You can change this setting
if you want, though.
To set the MIDI channel for a pad:
1. Press Edit to enter Edit Mode. The Edit button will light up.
2. Press the desired pad. The pad's number will appear in the display.
3. Press the Chan Assign key. The display will show CHN for 1 second and then show the
pad's number and current MIDI channel or zone channel.
4. Use the numeric keys (0–9) or Preset Down/Up () buttons to enter the desired MIDI
channel (00 or 01–16) or zone channel (17–20).
Note: Values 00 and 01–16 correspond to Code 61's global channel and the 16 available
MIDI channels. Values 17–20 correspond to channels used by Zones 1–4 (z1–z4).
5. Press the Enter key. The pad will be assigned to that channel, and you will exit Edit Mode.
To cancel your changes instead, press Edit. You will exit Edit Mode without saving anything.
Remember to store the preset if you want to save your changes in that preset.
