MIDI ch Mode (MIDI channel mode)
This selects the MIDI channel mode used by the Grandstage X to transmit and receive MIDI data.
Global: Uses only the channel set in “MIDI ch”. Only one channel is used for transmitting and receiv-
ing data, even when you’re using the LAYER or SPLIT parts.
Indiv.: Uses the respective channels set in “MIDI ch”, “Layer Part ch” and “Split Part ch” to transmit/
receive MIDI signals for the MAIN, LAYER and SPLIT parts (the default settings are channels 1, 2 and
3). Select this if you want to control an external MIDI device with different MIDI channels using the
SPLIT setting, or when you want to play the three part sounds on separate MIDI channels from an
external MIDI device.
Normally, this is set to “Global”, and the default setting is “Global”.
