(Device number)
Range: off, 1 … 16, all
Sets the TG500 MIDI device number — i.e. the MIDI channel on which all
system exclusive data will be received and transmitted.
The device number is important for transfer of voice data and other system
exclusive data between the TG500 and other Yamaha MIDI devices — e.g.
another TG500 or SY-series synthesizer, a Yamaha MIDI sequence recorder
such as the QX3, etc. Bulk voice data, for example, is transmitted and received
on the channel specified by the device number. Make sure that the TG500
device number is matched to that of other devices in your system with which
such data transfers will take place.
