The
MIDI
CH
button
accesses
7
different
parameters
that
can
be
selected
and
programmed
in
the
same
was
as
the
voice
editing
parameters.
The
7
MIDI
para-
meters
can
be
selected
in
sequence
by
pressing
the
MIDI
CH
button
(the
letter
representing
the
selected
function
will
flash),
and
the
setting
of
the
selected
parameter
can
be
changed
by
using
the
-1
and
+1
buttons
or
by
directly
entering
the
value.
In
the
case
of
“MIDI
Channel,”
use
the
number
buttons
(0
through
9).

This
parameter
simply
turns
the
DS55’s
MIDI
functions
“on”
or
“off.”
Turn
“on”
if
you
will
be
using
the
DS55
with
other
MIDI
devices,
or
“off”
if
you
do
not
want
the
DS55
to
respond
to'external
MIDI
control
or
transmit
MIDI
data.
If
MIDI
Switch
is
“off,”
none
of
the
following
parameters
can
be
selected.
The
MIDI
system
allows
transmission
and
reception
of
MIDI
data
on
16
different
channels.
Multiple
channels
have
been
implemented
to
allow
selective
control
of
certain
instruments
or
devices
connected
in
series.
For
example,
a
single
MIDI
sequence
recorder
could
be
used
to
“play”
two
different
instruments
or
tone
generators.
One
of
the
instruments
or
tone
generators
could
be
set
to
receive
only
on
channel
1,
while
the
other
is
set
to
receive
on
channel
2.
In
this
situation
the
first
instrument
or
tone
generator
will
respond
only
to
channel-1
information
trans-
mitted
by
the
sequence
recorder,
while
the
second
instrument
or
tone
generator
will
respond
only
to
channel-2
information.
This
allows
the
sequence
recorder
to
“play”
two
independent
parts
on
the
receiving
instruments
or
tone
generators.

In
any
MIDI
control
setup,
the
MIDI
channels
of
the
transmitting
and
receiving
equipment
must
be
matched
for
proper
data
transfer.
Use
the
-1
and
+1
or
number
buttons
to
set
the
desired
MIDI
transmit/receive
channel
on
the
DS55.
The
“Omni”
receive
mode
allows
reception
on
all
16
MIDI
channels
simultane-
ously.
In
the
Omni
mode
it
is
not
necessary
to
match
the
receive
channel
of
the
receiving
device
to
the the
transmit
channel
of
the
transmitting
device.
The
Omni
parameter
can
be
turned
“on”
or
“off.”
When
“off,”
the
DS55
will
respond
to
data
on
the
single
MIDI
channel
selected
with
the
MIDI
Receive
Channel
parameter.
The
Exclusive
parameter
determines
whether
the
DS55
will
transmit
and
receive
MIDI
System
Exclusive
Data.
System
Exclusive
Data
includes
the
actual
voice
data
used
by
the
DS55,
so
this
parameter
must
be
turned
“on”
if
you
intend
to
receive
voice
data
from
external
equipment,
or
transmit
DS55
voice
data
to
other
equip
