Select the field as shown above with the CURSOR keys and rotate the DATA wheel to select the
MIDI output channel.
For example, in the setting shown above, the data of track 01 (which is currently selected) sends
data from MIDI OUT A on MIDI channel 10.
Set the MIDI channel to correspond to the connected MIDI sound source. For example, if the MIDI
channel of the external MIDI sound source you want to play is set to 5, you can use track data to
play the MIDI sound source by setting the MIDI channel of the track to 5. The drum tracks are
normally used to play the internal sampler, but if a MIDI channel is set it will output MIDI data from
the selected channel. If you do not want to output the drum track data in MIDI format, set the MIDI
channel to
OFF
