B.CH
(Basic Channel mode)
G.CH
(Global Channel mode)
MdeOFF
(Mode Message OFF mode)
SeparateCH (Receive Channel in Separate Mode)
When SEP (Separate Mode) or SEP-S (Separate Solo Mode) is selected, the Upper and Lower Tones can
be controlled on different channels. The Lower Tone is controlled by the basic channel, and the Upper
Tone is controlled by the receive channel set here. The MIDI keyboard can control only the Upper Tone.
Value: 1 – 16
* The receive channel of each Patch can be set to a different number from the channel set here. (p. 25)
Prog.C (Program Change Switch)
To receive or transmit Program Change messages, set this to On.
Program Change messages are transmitted only when a Patch is selected by operating the V-Synth XT's
panel buttons, or when the Program Change number to be transmitted is altered also on the V-Synth XT's
panel. IN other words, Program Change messages are not transmitted by patch selection with the
Program Change messages sent from an external MIDI device.
Value: Off, On
* The Program Change Number of each Patch can be set to a different number from the number set here. (p. 25)
Function
When the VC-1 is being controlled in Mono mode, it receives the Voice
massages (except for Note Event, Pitch Bender) on the Basic Channel
from the external device.
When the VC-1 is being controlled in Mono mode, by an external device
that has a Global Channel (one number smaller than the basic channel)
it can receive all the Voice massages (except for Note Event, Pitch
Bender) On the Global Channel.
In this mode, the VC-1 does NOT receive the Mode massages from the
external MIDI device, but is assigned to the Key mode as set on the
VC-1.
