(p. 65).

channel of the transmitting device with the RD-300GX's
Receive channel. However, when the Control channel and the
Receive channel are both set to the same channel, the Control
channel takes priority, and Setups are switched.
The RD-300GX does not allow you to change the
MIDI channels of the parts. Parts 1--16 are fixed at
MIDI channels 1--16, respectively.
