3. If necessary, set the MIDI channel, Local
on/off, etc.
Set the MIDI Channel
MIDI features sixteen MIDI channels, numbered 1-16. Even
after the MIDI cables are connected, the connected devices
must be set to use the same MIDI channels, otherwise no
sound will be produced. When the pt-2000 is turned on,
Channel "1" is selected.
To make the setting, while holding down
the [Key Touch/Demo Song] button, press
any key from C5 to D#6.
The sequence of keys C5-D#6 corresponds to MIDI
Channels 1-16. Refer to "Functions Assigned to the
Keyboard" (p. 23).

Local On/Off
With the keyboard connected to a MIDI sequencer, keyboard
performances can be recorded to the sequencer; the
sequencer can also be used to play back performances.
fig.6-05.e
Sound Generator
With the sequencer's "Thru" function on, the same notes
may be sounded twice.
This is because the keyboard's performance data arrives at
the sound generator via two different routes, (1) and (2). This
can cause the sound to become strange, and also puts strain
on the instrument's polyphonic capabilities. To prevent this
from happening, route (1) must be separated, by means of
what is called "Local Off."
