MIDI Functions On the PSR-9000, 16 channels of MIDI data can be transmitted/received over a single MIDI cable, or over a serial cable (using the TO HOST terminal). Since the PSR-9000 features two independent MIDI "ports" (A and B), a total of 32 MIDI channels can be used simultaneously. For example, several tracks can be transmitted simultaneously, including the auto accompaniment data (as shown below).

This is because the MIDI Receive Mode for the MIDI B port (p. 118) cannot be set to "XG/GM." As you can see, it is essential to determine which data is to be sent over which MIDI channel when transmitting MIDI data (page 151). What You Can Do With MIDI q Record performance data (1-16 channels) using the PSR-9000 Auto Accompaniment features on a external sequencer (such as a personal computer). After recording, you can then edit the data with the sequencer, then play it again on the PSR-9000 (playback).
