In record mode. Chorus data travels from the keyboard (and the Symphony) through

Part 3 to Song 3 in the Concerto. The ’’MIDI channel” is used to connect Part 3,

Song 3, and the Symphony.
The C-800’s ’’Parts” and MIDI ’’channels” will be explained below.

P a r t s

The C-800 can process up to three ’’Parts”. Part 1 and Part 2 can be allocated to

built-in timbres, while Part 3 can be allocated to an external sound source.

One of the 3 Parts can also be chosen to be played from the keyboard. When power

is first turned on. Part 1 is set to the piano timbre, while Part 2 is set to
strings. The following procedure can be used to change the selected Part or
timbres, but turning off power will restore the original settings.

M I D I C h a n n e l s

When using MIDI it is necessary to set up the MIDI channel identically at the send

ing and receiving ends. When performing more than one timbre using separate Parts,

the use of different MIDI channels ensures that each Part or timbre is played by

the correct data. Therefore, if Channel 1 is the piano timbre (allocated to Part 1)

then the piano data must be sent on Channel 1. When the power is first turned on.
Part 1 is set to Channel 1 and Part 2 is set to Channel 2. These settings may be

changed as follows, but when the power is turned off the original settings will be

restored.

[ C h a n n e l S e t t i n g s ]

In multi mode, after choosing a part and allocating it to a timbre, press one of

the 16 channel-select keys on the keyboard (C2 to D3#) while holding the MIDI/

TRANSPOSE switch down. Receive and transmit channels are both set identically on

the C-800.
