The specified chord of the length specified by the number buttons is recorded. A rest can be specified here, so an original chord pattern can be created. Then in step 5, input the chords. Only rhythm is played where you input the rests, and then chord play starts after the rests.

In addition, there are five other melody tracks that you can use to record melody parts only. You can record different tones to the melody tracks and build a full ensemble of instruments for your recordings. The procedure you use for recording to Tracks 2 through 6 is identical to the one you use when recording to Track 1. Example: Select Track 2.

MIDI Channels The letters MIDI stand for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, which is the name of a worldwide standard for digital signals and connectors that make it possible to exchange musical data between musical instruments and computers devices produced by different manufacturers.

MIDI compatible equipment can exchange keyboard key press, key release, tone change, and other data as messages. Though you do not need any special knowledge about MIDI to use this keyboard as a stand-alone unit, MIDI operations require a bit of specialized knowledge.

This section provides you with an overview of MIDI that will help to get you going. There are 16 MIDI channels, numbered 1 through 16, and MIDI channel data is always included whenever you exchange data key press, pitch bend operation, etc. Both the sending device and the receiving machine must be set to the same channel for the receiving device to correctly receive and play data.

If the receiving device is set to Channel 2, for example, it receives only MIDI Channel 2 data, and all other channels are ignored.

This keyboard is equipped with multi-timbre capabilities, which means it can receive messages over all 16 MIDI channels and play up to 16 parts at the same time. Keyboard operations performed on this keyboard are sent out by selecting a MIDI channel 1 to 16 and then sending the appropriate message.

This standard makes it possible for all MIDI equipment to reproduce the same nuances when playing General MIDI data, regardless of the manufacturer of the sound source. Computer etc. You can use the parameter setting procedure page E to change the settings of the MIDI parameters described below.
