Connecting to MIDI Devices
■
Set the MIDI Channel
MIDI features sixteen MIDI channels, numbered 1–16.
The connected devices must be set to use the same MIDI
channels, otherwise no sound will be produced.
In a setup where you wish to play the F-100 and also have
another MIDI-equipped instrument or sound module play
the same notes, you should first set the channel used for
reception on your external device to the same channel that
you have the F-100 set to use for transmission.
Upon power-up, the F-100 is set to Omni On (p. 31). This
means that if you are using a MIDI keyboard or MIDI
sequencer to play the F-100’s tones, messages will be
received on all channels, regardless of any MIDI channel
settings. If you want to receive only on a specific channel that
a connected MIDI device will be using, switch the F-100 to
Omni Off, then set the MIDI channel.
When the F-100 is turned on, Channel “1” is selected.
1.
While holding down the [Variation] and [Song]
buttons, press the appropriate key (C5–D#6) on
the keyboard.
The MIDI transmit channel and receive channel will
switch to the number that corresponds to the note you
pressed.

On, or the “C7” note to turn the setting Off.
