When selecting the MIDI
part
• Setting a single channel
to MIDI
All incoming data received
via any of the MIDI chan-
nels 1 - 16 is recorded.
When using an external
MIDI keyboard or control-
ler to record, this lets you
record without having to
set the MIDI transmit
channel on the external
device.
• Setting several channels
to MIDI
When using an external
MIDI keyboard or control-
ler to record, this records
data only over the set

the external device must
also be set to the same
channel.

not be assigned to several
channels.
The settings of the recorded
parts is stored temporarily
until you execute Quick

turn the power off.
To pause, press the SONG
[START/STOP] button. To
resume recording, press the
SONG [START/STOP] but-
