to change to another SYSTEM-mode

Important
• For any given voice element, the element’s “RCh” (receive-channel) setting (
➝
REFERENCE: 1-19) takes precedence over the “Basic Receive Channel” setting
described above. If the RCh setting is “basic”, the Basic Receive Channel setting is
effective. But if RCh is set to a value between 1 and 16, then the RCh setting is
used regardless of the Basic Receive Channel setting.
FYI
• Set “Local” to “off” when you want to use the VP1 as the master keyboard for driving an
external device, or as a sound source driven by an external device.
• When driving two VP1s from an external keyboard or sequencer, you can use “Note On/
Off” settings to effectively double the available polyphony.
• VP1 controller LEDs operate only when VP1 channels and MIDI channel settings are in
agreement — for example, when an element’s RCh setting is “basic” and the Basic Receive
Channel is “kbd” or “omni”, or when the Kbd Transmit Channel and an element’s RCh
channel are set to the same value.
