MIDI Settings

Setting the MIDI Transmit Channels
In any MIDI control setup, the MIDI channels of the
transmitting and receiving devices must be matched
for proper data transfer. You can specify the channel
on which this instrument transmits MIDI data. To do
this, while holding down [GRAND PIANO/FUNC-
TION], press one of the D6 – E6 keys. The D6 key
decreases the value by 1, the E6 key increases the
value by 1, and the D#6 key restores the default value
(channel 1).
Setting range: 1 – 16
Default value: 1
NOTE
• In Dual, the keyboard performance via Voice 1 is transmitted on the specified
MIDI Transmit Channel and the keyboard performance via Voice 2 is transmitted
on the next channel number in sequence (specified channel + 1).
• No MIDI messages are output during playback of the Demo Song or Preset
Song.
