Specifying the Current Channel (MIDI Transmit Channel)
MIDI Channel
What is the current channel?
The current channel is the MIDI transmit select for the keyboard and bender lever.
* Each controller can have its own separate transmit channel. However if “OMNI” is
ON, messages will be transmitted on the current channel specified for OMNI.
Here’s another way to change the current channel.
1. Hold down the [SHIFT] button and use the following buttons to enter a
numerical value.

Controllers [B1]–[B4], [SPLIT]/[DUAL]/
[LOWER]/[UPPER] buttons, OCTAVE [–] [+]
buttons
2. Press the [ENTER] button.
With this, the numerical value you entered
is confirmed.
What is OMNI?

their assigned MIDI transmit channel. If you want the MIDI transmit channel of the
controllers to also change when you switch the current channel, turn OMNI on as
follows.
1. Press the [ACT] button and [] button simultaneously to enter Edit
mode.
The display will indicate “LCD CONTRAST.”
2. Turn the [VALUE] knob until “SYSTEM SETTING” appears in the display.
Press the [ENTER] button.

Press the [ENTER] button.
