MIDI Channels

MIDI channels allow communication between individual devices in a MIDI system. Before you can communi-
cate with a particular MIDI device you need to match its MIDI channel. A sending device can send messages on
any of 16 MIDI channels. Only the receiving MIDI devices that are set to that channel receive the messages. A
MIDI device can also be set to receive MIDI messages on all channels; this is known as the OMNI ON mode.
MIDI Transmission Channel
The PSR-310 can be set to transmit on any of its 16 MIDI channels.
MIDI Reception Channels
The PSR-310 can be set to receive on any of the 16 MIDI channels or to ALL MIDI channels (OMNI ON).
If a MIDI message is not transmitted or received due to a
transmission or reception error, no sound will be produced
(MIDI error).
