NAVIGATE CHANNEL (Default: 4)

this keyboard, the navigate channel is the channel whose note

data to light on the on-screen keyboard guide, you can
analyze how different parts of an arrangement are played.

Expanding the Selections in the
SONGS Tunes
You can transfer up to five song data (about 80 kilobytes in
total) from your computer to the keyboard as SONGS tunes
65 through 69. For SMF data you purchase or create, you need
to use special conversion software, available at RadioShack
web site (www.RadioShack.com), before transferring to the
keyboard. Download the software along with information
about its installation and use. While you visit our web site,
browse through the pages so you can find the latest news
about your keyboard and other musical instrument.
NOTE
• This keyboard supports SMF 0 format data.
• Voice Fingering Guide, on-screen fingering indicators,
voice announcement of evaluation points, and the
Practice Phrase function are not supported for
commercially available SMF data.
General MIDI Tone
The General MIDI standard defines the tone numbering
sequence, the drum sound numbering sequence, the number
of MIDI channels that can be used, and other general factors
that determine the sound source configuration. Because of
this, musical data produced on a General MIDI sound source
can be played back using similar tones and identical nuances
as the original, even when played on another manufacturers
sound source.
This keyboard conforms with General MIDI standards, so it
can be connected to a computer and used to play back General
MIDI data that has been purchased, downloaded from the
Internet, or obtained from any other source.
