MIDI Mode

MIDI Mode selects one of the three MIDI modes: Omni, Poly or Multi.

The 

MIDI Mode Change 

parameter specifies whether mode changes made 

through an external MIDI controller are accepted or ignored.

The MIDI modes are as follows:

Omni

Responds to note information on all MIDI channels and plays the preset 
currently displayed in the main screen.

Poly

Responds only to note information received on the currently selected MIDI 
channel (on the preset selection screen) and plays that channel’s associated 
preset.

Multi

Responds to data on any combination of MIDI channels and plays the 
specific preset associated with each of the MIDI channels. You must select 
multi mode for multitimbral operation.
