Receiving MIDI Data on the Avista 7600
The Avista can automatically receive MIDI data on any or all of the 16
MIDI channels at any time—no action is required on your part to
activate this feature. An external MIDI device can select the desired
sound for each channel and set its volume, stereo placement and so on.
The sound for each channel plays according to the MIDI instructions the
Avista receives. This feature allows you to use the Avista’s superior
sounds for the playing of General MIDI recordings from a computer or
other external sequencer.
You can, if you like, silence, or “mute,” the Avista’s sound on any of the
16 MIDI channels when it receives MIDI data from an external source.
