Channel Messages - KEYTEK CTS 2000 Instruction Manual

intended and this is done by selecting the Midi channel on the Slave itself, assigning it,
for example, Midi channel 1 to the first Slave, Midi channel 2 to the second and so on.
If several Slaves are assigned the same conversation channel (e.g. Midi channel 1) they will receive
the same Midi signals and thus play what was recorded on track 1.
Another particularly significant example of the use of Midi channels concerns all those instruments
whose keyboard can be divided into two or more parts.
In fact, it is possible to assign a different Midi channel to each portion of the keyboard and thus use
the instrument as a Master keyboard for several instruments (as many as there are portions of the
keyboard divided).
This also applies if the instrument is used as a peripheral.
In this case, by assigning a different Midi channel to each portion of the keyboard, we will be able to
control
the individual octaves exactly as if they were different Slaves.

If you have keyboards with dynamics, it also communicates the information about the speed of
key pressure.
