Chapter 3: Recording Sequences

This sets the MIDI channel of the selected track.

Select the field as shown below with the CURSOR key and rotate the
DATA wheel to select the MIDI channel.

Select between OUTPUT A or B in the field on the right side of the
numeric field.

For example, in the setting shown above, the data of track 01 which is
currently selected sends data from MIDI OUT A as MIDI channel 1
data.

Set the MIDI channel to the connected MIDI sound source.  For ex-
ample, if the MIDI channel of the external MIDI sound source you
want to play is set to five, you can use track data to play the MIDI
sound source by setting the MIDI channel of the track to five.  The
drum tracks are normally used to play the internal sampler, but if a
MIDI channel is set will output MIDI data from this channel.  If you
do not want to output the drum track data in MIDI format, set the
MIDI channel off.

To display the MIDI Input window, select a MIDI channel field and
press the OPEN WINDOW key.
