14.3.3 CHANNELS

This menu handles the MIDI channel configuration.
TRACK 1–4 CHANNEL selects dedicated MIDI track channel that controls the synth tracks. It also
sets the MIDI channel for the MIDI messages the DATA ENTRY knobs on the chosen track send. An
OFF setting makes the track disregard any incoming MIDI messages.
MIDI 1–4 CHANNEL selects dedicated MIDI track channel that controls the MIDI tracks. It also sets
the MIDI channel for the MIDI messages the DATA ENTRY knobs on the chosen track send. An OFF
setting makes the track disregard any incoming MIDI messages.
FX CHANNEL selects dedicated MIDI track channel that controls the FX parameters. It also sets the
MIDI channel for the MIDI messages the DATA ENTRY knobs on the FX pages send. An OFF setting
makes the track disregard any incoming MIDI messages.
AUTO CHANNEL selects the MIDI channel that gives access to the currently active track. If an exter-
nal MIDI keyboard connected to Digitone sends MIDI data on this channel, the keyboard controls the
active track. This function is useful when you want to change quickly between the active synth tracks
to play different sounds. The Digitone also uses the AUTO channel to record to the MIDI tracks from
external MIDI controllers.
PROG CH IN CH selects the MIDI channel that listens for incoming program change messages. An
AUTO setting uses the AUTO channel. Enable Digitone to respond to program change messages in
the MIDI SYNC menu. For more information, please see "14.3.1 SYNC" on page 60.
PROG CH OUT CH selects the MIDI channel that sends program change messages when changing
patterns. The AUTO setting uses the AUTO channel. Enable Digitone to send program change mes-
sages in the SYNC menu. For more information, please see "14.3.1 SYNC" on page 60.
