Channel Assign

O O O O
You might want to
designate a certain track to
handle external program
changes. Set this track to "Ext"
and choose "MultiA" or
"MultiB".

This important screen assigns each track to a Main channel (01A-16B). This
"rechannelizes" the data on the track to the channel you choose here. The
default mode of operation for PX-7 is to have tracks assigned to the same-
numbered MIDI channel. This convention makes it easy to keep everything
organized and it works well for most recording.
Because tracks can be recorded with multiple MIDI channels, "Multi A" and
"Multi B" options are provided in the channel selection field. The Multi
options route data to either the A or B channels (internal or external). For
example, you could route a multichannel track to only use the B channels.
Each track can also be routed to: internal MIDI channels, the external MIDI
ports, both, or none. Channels 1A-16A and Multi A are routed to MIDI port
A and channels 1B-16B and Multi B are routed to MIDI port B, if "ext" or
"both" is selected as a destination for that track.
Important Note: Program change messages are NOT transmitted exter-
nally if the destination is set to Both. To transmit program changes to
external MIDI devices, set the destination to External (EXT).
