Basic Structure
Part structure of the tone generator block in the Song mode/Pattern mode
In these modes, multiple parts are provided and different voice and different melodies or phrases can be played back for each
part. Because these modes let you set the MIDI channel for each part of the tone generator block, you can use an external MIDI
sequencer as well as the sequencer block of the instrument to play the sounds.
As illustrated below, the sequence data of each track plays the corresponding parts (those having the same MIDI channel
assignment) in the tone generator block.
The MIDI Transmit Channel/Port of the Song/Pattern can be set with the following operation.
When sounding the internal tone generator block, assign the tracks to Transmit Port 1 and use Parts 1 - 16. Keep in mind that
data over Transmit Ports 2 or 3 cannot sound the internal tone generator block. The tone generator of the installed Plug-in Board
can be sounded via any of the MIDI ports 1 - 3.
The MIDI Receive Channel of the tone generator’s part can be set with the following operation.
You can set the port number assignment for the Plug-in Board with the following operation.
n For details about MIDI, see page 181.
n The Plug-in Board lets you use only a single Voice at the same time. Please note that you cannot assign multiple Voices of the Plug-in Board to multiple parts
at the same time.
n The Voice and related settings (volume, pan, etc.) are sounded by the keyboard according to the Part parameters in the Mixing settings of the current Song/
Pattern and Part. Other settings such as Controllers and Effect types correspond to the Common parameters in the Mixing settings of the current Song/
Pattern.
