This function is used to determine on which MIDI channel the ES6 digital piano will exchange MIDI information
with external MIDI devices and instruments.
Step 1
Press and hold the TOUCH and TRANSPOSE buttons, then press the PIANO1 button twice.
The LED indicators for the TOUCH, TRANSPOSE, and PIANO1 buttons will start to fl ash, indicating that the
MIDI Channel function has been selected.
The name of the function ‘Chn’ (Channel) and the current settings will be shown in the LED display.
Step 2
Press the
T
or

VALUE/BALANCE buttons to select the desired MIDI channel.
The MIDI Channel can be set within the range of 1 to 16.

MIDI Channel mode.
The LED indicators for the TOUCH, TRANSPOSE, and PIANO1 buttons will stop fl ashing.
By default, the ES6 digital piano will receive MIDI information from all channels, 1 to 16. This state is called ‘omni
mode on’. The ES6 digital piano will switch to ‘omni mode off’ when a specifi c channel is selected using the above
MIDI Channel function, and data will only be received on that specifi ed channel. In order to specify channel 1 in the ‘omni
mode off’ state, fi rst select channel 2, then select channel 1.
It is possible to use the Memory Backup function to store the preferred MIDI Channel setting. Please refer to the
instructions on page 62 for more information.
