Information Part and MIDI Channel Assignments and Diagram Though this Digital Keyboard has a sound source that supports simultaneous play of 48 parts, the MIDI standard supports handling of information for up to a maximum of 16 parts. As a result, the 48 parts of the Digital Keyboard are divided among three 16-part ports, resulting in the equivalent of three built-in 16-part MIDI sound sources.
Information Block Diagram Mono Stereo Chorus Send Port A/B/C : Part1-16 Delay Send Tone Generator Note1: If an effect is selected for DSP 1 and/or DSP 2, changing the tone setting of Part 1 to 5 (keyboard tones) changes the DSP 1 effect to that of the newly selected tone. Changing the tone setting of another (accompaniment) part changes DSP 2 effect to that of the newly selected tone. Note2: DSP1 and DSP2 are common to Port A/B/C, Part 1 to 16.
