Setting the MIDI Channel
The MIDI channel can be set to a number between 1 and 16 or it can be set to “All”.
When set to a number between 1 and 16, the FI will only respond to messages received on
that channel. It will also send out Program Changes on that channel only.
When set to “All”, the FI will respond to messages received on all 16 channels. However,
when sending out Program Changes it will do so on channel 1 only.
Setting the MIDI channel is done via the
.
MIDI Thru
When MIDI Thru is enabled, the MIDI OUT of the FI will pass on all information from its MIDI
IN (with the exception of CC6 (Data Edit), NRPN controllers and SysEx data).
MIDI Thru is turned on or off via the
Program Change Out
When a change of program occurs on the FI by using the PROGRAM footswitch or the
EDIT/BANK UP dial, then the FI will send out the corresponding Program Change (PC)
command via its MIDI OUT on the active MIDI Channel.
The same thing occurs when a change of program occurs on the FI by receiving the FI MIDI
command for Program Up/Down or Bank Up/Down via the MIDI IN. (See the
chart for the commands.)
By contrast, if the change of program occurs by receiving a Program Change command via
the MIDI IN, then the FI will
not
generate and send out a corresponding Program Change
command. However, the externally-received Program Change command will be sent via the
MIDI OUT anyway, provided that MIDI THRU is enabled.
