Selecting SongBook entries via MIDI
SongBook entries can be selected via MIDI (through the special
Control channel), by using the NRPN dedicated Control Change
messages #99 (MSB, with value 2) and #98 (LSB, with value 64).
See "Selecting SongBook entries via MIDI" on next page.
Setting the special Control MIDI channel
First of all, go to the Global > MIDI > Setup/General Control
page and select a MIDI Setup to be used when you will remotely
select SongBook entries.
Then go to the Global > MIDI > Midi In Channel page, to assign
a MIDI channel to the special Control channel. Assign the Con-
trol option to one of the sixteen available MIDI channels (usu-
ally one of the higher-numbered ones).
When done, save this setting to the current MIDI Setup by
choosing the "Write Global-Midi Setup" command from the
page menu.
If you plan to use a different MIDI channel for the Style Play and
Song Play modes, repeat the above to create a second MIDI
Setup.
