E 1’rx Ch, 2’re Ch (A1~B16)
The
NTA
notes
can
be
sent
on
two
MIDI
channels,
so
that
you
could
control
the
G-800’s
Arranger
using
a
MIDIfied
accordion
or
any
other
instrument
capable
of
sending
accompa-
niment
data
(or
data
used
to
control
the
accompaniment)
on
two
channels
(such
as
organs
with bass pedals, for example).
Note:
You
cannot
assign
the
same
MIDI
channel
to
1’rxCh
and
2'rxCh.
Note:
The
letter
(A
or
B)
refers
to
the
MIDI
INput
the
transmitting
instruments
should
be
con-
nected
to.
m Shift (-48~48)
This
parameter
allows
you
to
transpose
the
received
note
messages
before
sending
them
to
the
G-800’s
tone
generator.
You
could
change
the
pitch
of
the
received
MIDI
note
messages,
which
may
be
useful
if
you
are
used
to
playing
a
song
(that
is
being
received
via
MIDI)
in
another
key
than
the
one
the
data
were
programmed
in.
The
maximum
possible
transposition
is
four
octaves
up
(48)
or
down
(-48),
each
step
representing
a
semitone.
The Shift parameter applies to both NTA channels.
Use
the
Part
Select
[LOWER]
button
to
specify
whether
the
Shift
interval
should
be
applied
(On)
or
not
(Off).
E = 1’ch Limit, 2’ch Limit (C-1~G9)
High
and
Low
allow
you
to
set
the
note
range
to
be
received.
If
not
all
note
messages
on
the
selected
MIDI
channel
should
be
received
by
the
NTA
“part”,
set
the
range
to
the
desired
val-
ues.
To
set
the
upper
limit
(High),
first
press
Part
Select
[UPPER1]
until
the
message
below
the
on-screen
knob
reads
Hi
3h.
To
set
the
lower
limit,
press
Part
Select
[UPPER1]
to
select
Low
before
setting
the
value
with
the
[UPPER/VARIATION]
knob.
Note:
The
Low
Limit
cannot
be
set
to
a
higher
value
than
the
High
Limit
(and
vice
versa).
Once
the
Low
Limit
equals
the
High
Limit,
setting
a
higher
Low
value
will
also
increase
the
High
value.
Note:
Some
instruments
start
at
C-2 and
end
at
G8
(instead
of
C-1
and
G9).
You
may
have
to
“add
an
octave”
to
the
value
you
see
on
the
screen
of
your
computer
or
external
sequencer.
