Select the part you want to assign to the channel to be recorded.
This determines which of the keyboard-played parts (Main/Layer/Left) and the
accompaniment style parts (RHYTHM 1/2, BASS, etc.) are recorded to the
recording channels
selected in step #2.
For a list of the initial
default assignments,
see page 85.
When selecting the MIDI
part
•
Setting a single channel
to MIDI
All incoming data received
via any of the MIDI chan-
nels 1 - 16 is recorded.
When using an external
MIDI keyboard or control-
ler to record, this lets you
record without having to
set the MIDI transmit
channel on the external
device.
•
Setting several channels
to MIDI
When using an external
MIDI keyboard or control-
ler to record, this records
data only over the set
MIDI channel — meaning
the external device must
also be set to the same
channel.
A single part (with the
exception of MIDI parts) can-
not be assigned to several
channels.
