14 MIDI CHANNEL
Like the COPY and ERASE buttons, the MIDI CHANNEL button is only active while it is held down. It is
used to select the MIDI channel of a track or part (it has no function in SONG mode). When held down,
track one's LED will light, and the display will show the MIDI channel selected for that track:
The keypad or +/- buttons can be used to change the selected track's MIDI channel, and other tracks
can be displayed or changed by selecting the desired track button (only one track is lit at a time). The
selection of the channel can be 0 (UNCHANGED), or 1 through 16. A given track always retains its
recorded MIDI channel information, so that if a track contains notes from more than one channel, it can
be played back as recorded. In this case, it is desired to assign the track to UNCHANGED, which means
that it will output on the same MIDI channels as are recorded. Whenever a new track is recorded, it
defaults to UNCHANGED. If a specific MIDI channel is selected (1-16). then the selected track's notes will
all be output on the selected channel. However, the actual track information remains unchanged, so that
returning a track to UNCHANGED will cause the separate MIDI channels to play back as before.
Note: An empty track can be assigned to a MIDI channel before recording onto it, which will cause that
channel to be output while recording if MIDI ECHO is on. Also, if a track is copied to an empty track, its
MIDI channel setting will be copied as well. If a track or part is erased, its MIDI channel assignment is
left as it was.
