Base Channel/Status
Base Channel= 01 Status = BOTH
Base Channel Range: 01 to 16
Selects the Base Channel that the KT uses to transmit and receive MIDI messages. The Base
Channel is used to transmit and receive MIDI data while the KT is in Select Sound mode. When
working within a Preset/Sequence/Song, the KT automatically transmits MIDI data on the
individual track channels.
Any of 16 MIDI channels may be selected as the Base MIDI Channel of the KT. The effect of
setting the Base Channel varies, depending on the MIDI mode ({SYSTEM"MIDI} page {6}) and
whether data is being transmitted or received.
Receive In POLY mode, keys, controllers, and program changes are only recognized if
received on the Base Channel. In MONO A mode, program changes are received
only on the Base Channel. The Base Channel is also used in both MONO modes as
the first channel of the 8-channel range.
Transmit The KT has a fixed MIDI transmitting scheme, depending on the mode it is in. In
Select Sound mode, the KT always transmits on the Base Channel. In Seq/Preset
mode, the KT always transmits on the individual track channel(s).
