MIDI
Status [INT, EXT, EX2]
ThisparametersetswhethertheTimbrecontrolstheinter‐
nalsounds,orexternalMIDIdevices.
INT:Thetimbrewillsound,andwillalsosoundinresponse 
toMIDImessagesfromanexternalMIDIdevice.MIDIdata
willnotbetransmitted.
EXT:Thetimbrewillnotsoundevenifitreceivesmessages
fromaco
ntroller,butMIDIdatawillbetransmittedtoexter‐
naldevices.
EX2:The“BankSelect(WhenStatus=EX2)”(settableonly

used.InsteadoftheA–Dbanknumbersthatcanbeselected
fromthePS60itself,thebanknumberspecifiedfo

MIDI Ch. (MIDI Channel) [01...16, Gch]
ThisparameterallowsyoutosettheMIDItransmit/receive
channelforeachtimbre.
Gch:Thetimbrewillusethechannelthathasbeenselected
astheglobalMIDIChannel(page72).
WhenStatusisINT,MIDImessageswillbereceivedonthe
channelthatyouspecifyhere.Ifthissettingisthesameas

soundaccordingtotheinternalsettings.IfthisissettoEXT
orEX2,playingthePS60willtransmitMIDImessageson

betransmittedsimultaneouslyontheglobalMIDIchannel.)
Ifasetting01–16matchestheglobalMIDIchannel,“G”is
