"omni" mode for reception on all channels. Make sure that the SY85 MIDI
receive channel is either set to the channel that your external controller is

Controls: [CS7], [-1] [+1], Dial
Sets the SY85 MIDI device number — i.e. the MIDI channel on which all
system exclusive data will be received and transmitted.
The device number is important for transfer of voice data and other system
exclusive data between the SY85 and other Yamaha MIDI devices — e.g.
another SY85 or SY-series synthesizer, a Yamaha MIDI sequence recorder such
as the QX3, etc. Bulk voice data, for example, is transmitted and received on
the channel specified by the device number. Make sure that the SY85 device
number is matched to that of other devices in your system with which such
data transfers will take place.
