Performance
Section
Each of the four Performance Sections
has its
own
receive channel setting,
and can be used
independently. You can specify instruments for
each Performance Section, and specify how
sound
parameters (pitch/decay/nuance/pan) will change
according to the note number.
*For the Performance Section
which Is not used, set the sound parameter's
instrument
assign to OFF

127
This determines the
MIDI
Receive
channel. Note message, pitch bend
message, and control
change message will
be
received
on this channel.
This determines the volume of each
Performance Section. Higher values will result
in a
louder

At a setting of there will
be no sound.
*This value
can be modified by volume messages
(control number
7)
received
from an external device
(cr

Key range low
Key range low/high :
C-(0)
—G9 (127)
This detennines the
range of notes that will be received
by each Performance Section. Note
message between
the key range low (lower limit)
and the key range high (upper limit) will
be
received.
For example, you can set two
or more Performance Sections to the
same
receive
channel and set them
to different key ranges so that
different sounds can be played over
different ranges.
