When the [SPLIT] switch is on, only the notes
of the Lower range will be output on this chan-
nel.

ting is the same as the Keyboard channel or the
Upp1 channel.

Using the Ci-9600/Ci-8600 as a
multi-timbral tone generator
The Ci-9600/Ci-8600 can function as a multi-tim-
bral tone generator that can be played from an
external MIDI device. When the [SONG] switch is
on, the Ci-9600/Ci-8600 will function as a 16-tim-
bre GM tone generator.
It is not possible to set the MIDI channel.
During SMF playback, the sounds will change in
accordance with the data.
The XG tone generator cannot be played by
incoming MIDI messages.
Local on/off setting
If you wish to use the Ci-9600/Ci-8600's keyboard
to trigger an external MIDI tone generator without
hearing the internal tone generator, or if the Ci-
9600/Ci-8600 is connected to a sequencer with an
Echo Back setting (that re-transmits the incoming
data) and need to prevent notes from being heard
in duplicate, you can set the Ci-9600/Ci-8600 to
Local Off. Normally you will leave this set to Local
On so that when playing the Ci-9600/Ci-8600's
keyboard will hear its own internal tone generator.
1. Press the [FUNCTION] switch
2. Access the "Func 7/13" page
3. Press a "Local" radio button

To return to the previous display

TION] switch, the [FUNCTION] switch indica-
tor will go dark, and you will return to the
previous LCD screen.
