To each of this unit's 32 Parts, there is assigned an instrument and also a Channel.
Channels are a concept used in MIDI to distinguish notes that should be played by dif-
ferent instruments in an ensemble. Normally, there is no need to change the channel of
a Part when using this unit. However it may sometimes be interesting to set two Parts to
the same channel so that two sounds will simultaneously play the same musical line. To
change the MIDI channel of a Part, use the following procedure.
* For detail about MIDI, refer to p.130.
