used by audio devices such as analog tape 
recorders, and for NTSC format black and 
white video (used in Japan and the U.S.).

Rhythm MIDI Channel (RhyMIDI ch) 
Valid Settings: 1–16, OFF (Initial value: 10)
This sets the MIDI channel for the Rhythm performance data 
output from the MIDI OUT connector. No data is output 
when this is set to OFF.
Offset
Valid Settings: 00:00:00-00.0–23:59:59-29.9 
(Initial value: 00:00:00-00.0)
Sets the time required to align the song playback and MTC 
timing when synchronizing an external device using MTC 
from the BR-900CD.
The offset is set as the difference between the “time to which 
to align the MTC timing” and the “time to which to align the 
song timing.” For example, you want to have the external 
device play back with the MTC timing shown below when 
the song timing reaches “01h00m00s00,” then set the offset as 
follows.
The Offset is stored to each song individually.
