active track to play through midi channel 5 on output jack 3, select 5C in
these fields. If you want the active track to be a "drums" track, this should
be set to 16, which is the midi channel the internal drums sound generator
normally receives its notes from (in this case the port selection - A, B, C, or
D - is only used for additionally triggering an external drum sound
generator). For more information on "drums" and "non-drums" tracks, see
section 3.4: "How to assign "drums" and "non-drums" tracks".
• The midi channel name field (right side of line 5): This is the 8 character
name for the currently selected midi output channel. This field has no
on-screen title, but is located directly to the right of the upper CH field.
This would commonly contain the name of the synthesizer which is being
played from the displayed midi channel, for Example, "5900_#2". There
are 64 names - one for each of the 64 output midi channels. If the selected
midi channel is assigned to the internal "drums" channels (16A, B, C, or D),
the assigned name for that channel is always "Drums" to indicate that the
selected track will play the internal drums.
NOTE: These 64 names are intended to be used is to identify the midi
devices which are externally connected - not the data contained in the
track . For this reason, they are not saved within sequence files or "ALL"
files. They are, however, retained in memory after power is removed and
are also saved within "parameter" files.
• The CH field (line 6):
This field allows a second midi output channel to be assigned to the active
track in addition to the one displayed in the upper CH field, so that the
active track may play into 2 midi channels simultaneously. If an additional
output channel is not desired, a "0" should be entered here to indicate that
no additional midi channel is assigned.
• The midi channel name field (right side of line 6): This field, located
directly to the right of the lower CH field, has the same function as the
upper midi channel name field, directly above, but in this case is used to
display the assigned name of the midi channel selected in the lower
CH field
(line 6). If a "0" has been entered in the lower CH field, indicating that no
additional midi channel has been selected for the active track, the name
"(Off)" will be displayed here.
• The VOL% field:
This is an overall output volume control for active track. It actually scales the
velocities of all notes which play from the track. However, unlike a normal
volume control, this setting actual adjusts the dynamics played. The range is
from 0 to 200%. Select 100 for normal velocity. It is also possible to adjust
the velocity values for a region of notes after recording. To learn more about
