S stands for solo. When this character is
capitalized, the current channel is soloed – which
means it is the only channel that can be
monitored. This parameter is on both pages 1 and
2.
0:1 Grand Piano refers to the bank, program
number, and the program name of the sound
selected for this channel. The General MIDI sound
set is organized into 128 banks. Each bank has 128
Program numbers, but not all program numbers

Rotating the value knob changes the current
sound, which are grouped according to type of
sound, i.e. keyboards, guitars, winds, strings, etc.
This way you can quickly select a type of sound
you like and try variations without having to refer to
a chart of banks and program numbers.
Vol: This sets the volume of the current channel
sound.
Midi: This sets the routing of the MIDI signals

for the current channel. Choose the internal sound
engine, the external MIDI output, or both.
Zone: Each channel can be assigned a zone on
the keyboard. This means that a sound can be
assigned to a particular range of keys. With the
cursor under this parameter, press Enter. The LEDs
above the keys show the current zone boundaries,
and the display now prompts you to play the keys
that correspond to the desired zone boundaries.
The keys must be played simultaneously to set the
zone boundaries. Press escape when complete.
Vel: stands for velocity curve. This refers to the MIDI
velocity value that is generated by the PianoBar
when a note is played. The curves determine how
the velocity of playing affects the loudness of the
current channel sound. For instance some sounds,
like organs, do not have a dynamic response to
touch – this can be set by choosing a velocity
