Making MIDI-related Settings
Here’s how you can set the transmit channel and other MIDI-
related settings.
■ MIDI Send Channel Settings
MIDI features sixteen MIDI channels, numbered 1–16.
Simply connecting a cable is not enough for communication
to take place. The connected devices must be set to use the
same MIDI channels. Otherwise, no sound will be produced,
and no sounds can be selected.
The RG-7 receives all channels 1–16.

3.
Press the [Song] (Select -) button or [ ] (Select +)
button to get the value for “Tx Ch” (Transmit channel)
to flash.
4.
Press the [ ] (Value -) button or [ ] (Value +)
button to set the MIDI Transmit channel.
