MIDI RECEIVE CHANNEL FILTER [¢]
@ Overview
This function allows you to choose on which of the 16 MIDI
channels the PortaSound will receive data in either MIDI
RECEIVE MODE, Keyboard Assign 00 or Sound Source

controlled by external or internal clock data.
To select these reception channels individually for the two
modes, the corresponding RECEIVE MODE (00 or 99) must
be chosen before performing the following settings.

A minus sign "—" in front of the displayed MIDI channel
number indicates that this channel is set to receive MIDI

channel. Press + to turn it on again.
3. Use RECEIVE CH. [{d] to call up the other channels.
Each time you press RECEIVE CH. [¢] , the display will
switch to the next MIDI channel, starting again from
