selected not by note number only as in MIDI

tracks, but also by the pad number and sound

name currently assigned to the displayed note

number.

function.

• The Track On/Off field (On:

YESYES

YES in the example screen):

This choice field turns the output of the active track on (YES) or off

(NO). Pressing SOFT KEY 1 toggles the field’s state between YES

and NO.

• The MIDI Channel/Port fields (Chn:

OFFOFF

OFF-(off) in the example

screen):

There are actually two fields here, which together are used to

determine which MIDI channel and MIDI output port the active

track will output its data to. The to fields are:

1. The MIDI Channel field (Chn:

1A-(off)):

This field determines which of the 16 MIDI channels the

active track will play through. If you don’t want the track

to play through any MIDI channels, select 0 and the word

OFF will appear.

2. The MIDI Port field (Chn: 1

A-(off)):

This choice field determines which of the four MIDI

output ports (A, B, C, or D) the active track will play

through. (If OFF is selected in the MIDI channel field to

the left, this field can’t be seen.)

COMMENT: If OFF is displayed in this field (no MIDI

output assignment) and you want to select a MIDI channel or

port, first move the cursor to the letter “O” of OFF and turn

the data entry control one step to the right.

• The MIDI Channel/Port Name field (Chn:OFF-

(off)(off)

(off) in the

example screen):

This is the eight-character name for the currently selected MIDI

output channel/port combination. This would commonly contain the

name of the synthesizer that is being played from the displayed

MIDI channel/port combination. There are 64 names—one for each

of the 64 output MIDI channel/port combinations. The name is

changed in exactly the same way as the sequence name field.

COMMENT: These 64 names are intended to be used to

identify the MIDI devices that are externally connected—not

the data contained in the track. For this reason, they are not

saved within sequence files or ALL files. They are, however,

retained in memory after power is removed and are also

saved within Parameter files.

• The Auxiliary MIDI Channel/Port fields (& OFF in the example

screen):

These two fields have exactly the same function and operation as

the MIDI Channel/Port fields shown to the left. These two
