* Whenever adding the keyboard channel number to a value
from 1 to 8 produces a result that is greater than 16, the
send channel used is the one whose number is equal to the
result minus 16.
NOTE
Pedal effect data recorded to memory is applied to play back
from song memory, and does not affect your performance on
the keyboard. Likewise, pedal operations on the digital piano
are applied to the keyboard only, and not to play back from the
song memory.

details on assigning tones to each channel.
