Whenever you plan to exchange data between your 
Digital Keyboard and computer, first turn off power on 
alert (page EN-6).

• Once you are able to connect successfully, there is no

A keyboard channel is the channel used for sending Digital

The navigate channels can be used to display only the notes 
of a particular channel (part) as on-screen guide information 
from among the note information of a tune sent from the 
computer.

Specifying the Navigate Channels

From among the 16 available channels (numbered 1 to 16), 
you can specify any two neighboring channels (such as 05 
and 06) as navigate channels. The smaller numbered channel 
is the navigate (L) channel, while the larger numbered 
channel is the navigate (R) channel. Specifying the navigate 
(R) channel will automatically configure the navigate (L) 
channel as well.
