MIDI channel settings

After you have finished making MIDI connections, set

the MIDI channels of the C-550 and the external MIDI

device. MIDI uses sixteen channels: 1 ~ 16.

When you play the keyboard of the C-550, the

keyboard will transmit messages on the MIDI

channel which is specified for the currently

selected Part of the song. Musical data from the

recorder is transmitted on the MIDI channels

which are specified for each Part of the recorded

song.

MIDI messages from the external MIDI device will be

received on the MIDI channels which are specified for

each Part of the currently selected song. By assigning

a different MIDI channel to each P art, messages can

be received from an external sequencer to play up to

16 different sounds simultaneously on the C-550.

is referred to as "multi-timbral" capability

The C-550 can produce up to 32 notes simulta-

Changing MIDI channels

The easiest way to change the MIDI transmit channel

is to select a dif ferent P art number . However there

may be cases in which you wish to change the MIDI

channel transmitted by a Part. Use the following

procedure.

1.Select the Part of the song whose MIDI

channel you wish to change.

2.Hold down the [MIDI] switch, and press the

[BEAT] switch.

The indicator at the [MIDI] switch will light, and the

indicator at the [BEAT] switch will blink. The LED

display will show the MIDI channel of the currently

selected Part.

3.Press the [+/UP] or [–/DOWN] switch to

change the MIDI channel.

With the initial settings, changing the MIDI

channel of a Part will mean that two Parts will

have the same channel. In this situation, when

data of that channel is received, the sounds

selected for each of these two Parts will play

simultaneously. If this sounds wrong, set the

MIDI channel of the other Part to the MIDI

channel previously used by the first Part.

4.When you finish making settings, press the

[MIDI] switch (or the [RESET] switch).

The indicators at the [MIDI] switch and the [BEAT]

switch will go off.

✎

The settings of the C-550 are remembered even

when the power is turned off.
