behave
the

way.
A

instrument transmits
MIDI

to
the
receiving
instrument
when
the
MIDI channel
number
of
both
units
is
the
same.
If

Messages
There
are various kinds
of
MIDI
messages
that
represent
performance
information.
MIDI
messages
are divided
into
two main
types;
messages
transmitted
on a MIDI channel
{Channel
Messages) and messages
transmitted
regardless
of
the
channel (System
Messages).
The
following
describes which MIDI
messages
apply
to
the
CR-80.
Q
Channel
Messages (messages
transmitted separately
on
a MIDI channel)
Channel
messages
transmit
perfomiance
controlling information.
Normally,
these
mes-
sages
cover almost
all
the
controls.
How
each
MIDI
message
controls the
performance
is
determined by
the
settings
on
the
sound module
unit.

performance
information
of

information).
