Set Local Off if you have connected the DP-900 to a MIDI 
sequencer. Refer to “Switching Local Control on and Off” (p. 
36). Also set your MIDI sequencer to MIDI Thru mode (so that 
messages received at MIDI IN will be re-transmitted without 
change from MIDI OUT). For details, refer to the owner’s 
manual of your MIDI sequencer.

MIDI Send Channel Settings
 
MIDI features sixteen MIDI channels, numbered 1-16. Simply 
connecting a cable is not enough for communication to take 
place. The connected devices must be set to use the same MIDI 
channels. Otherwise, no sound will be produced, and no 
sounds can be selected.
 
*
The DP-900 receives all channels 1-16.
*
If you are using Dual play (p. 17) or Split play (p. 18) on the 
DP-900, only the channel you specify here will be transmitted. 
 
If you press 
 
the [Strings] button
 
 in step 2 of “Making MIDI-
related settings,” a display like the following will appear.
