You may be able to remedy this and make the playback sound more natural or appropriate by changing the Song Channel Selection setting (page 66) to "1&2," so that only channels 1 and 2 will play back. NOTE If the song cannot be selected or loaded, you may need to change the Character Code setting (page 70). NOTE Song data is not transmitted via the MIDI connections.
