Basic Channel
The basic channel determines which channel will always be available to receive MIDI
information. Depending on the MIDI receive mode (below), the Basic channel may be the only
receiving channel, or one of several.

MIDI Receive Mode (MIDI Mode)

The MIDI Mode parameter determines the MIDI receiving capabilities of the K2661. When set to
Omni, the K2661 responds to incoming MIDI events on all MIDI channels, and plays them on
the current channel. This is normally used for diagnostic purposes only.
At a setting of Poly, the K2661 responds only to events that are sent on the same channel as the
K2661's current MIDI channel (the one displayed on the top line of the Program-mode page). In
Poly mode, the currently selected channel is always the basic channel, so if you change channels,
the basic channel changes accordingly.
With a value of Multi (the default), the K2661 responds to events on all active channels. This is
the mode you'll use when you're driving the K2661 with a sequencer, since you can play a
different program on each channel. At this setting, you can turn individual channels on and off
(on the CHANNELS page, described later in this chapter).
