the chords it plays without
adding any other note
degrees.

This parameter allows you to define a
second MIDI channel for the transmission
of the bass notes you play on the FR-4x.
This additional channel may come in
handy for certain MIDI modules you may
want to control from the FR-4x.

machine, or an arranger module.
