To change a track’s program quickly, press Record, select the program, then press Stop. Or you
could press MIXER to go to the MIX page, change the program as desired, then press Keep. This
preserves all changes you have made to any other tracks: volume, pan, tempo, etc.

Channel (Chan)
This parameter determines the control channel and is available only when RecTrk is set to None
or Mult. When RecTrk is Mult, this parameter appears only if you have entered Song mode from
Program mode. In this case, the Channel parameter gets squeezed onto the same line as the
Program parameter, which is why you don’t see the Program parameter’s name, just its value.
Setup
Displays the ID and name of the setup to be recorded. This parameter is available when RecTrk
is Mult, and you enter Song mode from Setup mode. The display diagram below shows an
example of the Song-mode page with the Setup parameter replacing the Channel and Program
parameters.

Using setups in Song mode takes a bit of extra planning. Since each zone in a setup uses a
separate MIDI channel, you need to make sure that each setup zone has a corresponding track
and channel allocation. It’s important to know how many channels, and consequently how
many tracks, are needed for recording a particular setup. Each setup can have up to eight zones
that can respond to your playing differently, depending on what range of the keyboard is being
played, or if certain velocity and/or controller values determines when a particular zone will
respond. Be aware of the behavior of each setup you intend to record so that you can allocate the
proper tracks and channels needed in your song.
