* 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.
