NAVIGATE CHANNEL (Default: 4)

When messages are received from a computer for play on
this keyboard, the navigate channel is the channel whose note
data appears on the display. You can select one channel from
01 to 16 as the navigate channel. Since this setting lets you
use the data on any channel of commercially available SMF
data to light on the on-screen keyboard guide, you can
analyze how different parts of an arrangement are played.

1

Press the SETTING button until the NAVIGATE
CHANNEL screen appears.

2

Use the [+], [–], and the number buttons [0] through
[9] to change the channel number.

General MIDI Tone

The General MIDI standard defines the tone numbering
sequence, the drum sound numbering sequence, the number
of MIDI channels that can be used, and other general factors
that determine the sound source configuration. Because of
this, musical data produced on a General MIDI sound source
can be played back using similar tones and identical nuances
as the original, even when played on another manufacturers
sound source.
This keyboard conforms with General MIDI standards, so it
can be connected to a computer and used to play back General
MIDI data that has been purchased, downloaded from the
Internet, or obtained from any other source.
