5 Using Sound on Your PC Connecting a MIDI Keyboard 4 In your sequencer program, for each track select an output port, a channel number, and a patch number or name: • The output port defines where the track is to be sent for playback: to the computer's internal synthesizer or to your keyboard instrument. Bear in mind how many different instrument voices your keyboard is capable of playing back at the same time. • The channel number lets you "tune in" a particular keyboard or module to this track. Do not select the same channel number for two different tracks unless they use the same patch (voice). • The patch is the instrument voice. Your sequencer program may let you select a MIDI patch number or an instrument name. 5 On your keyboard instrument, select a channel number or numbers on which to receive MIDI information. The channel number(s) will depend on which track(s) you want to play back through your keyboard, as set up in your sequencer program. If in doubt, select channels 1, 2, 3, and so on. You can usually change the channel number(s) as you play back a piece of music. 73

Using Sound on Your PC
Connecting a MIDI Keyboard
4
In your sequencer program, for each track select an output port, a channel number, and a patch number or name:
•
The output port defines where the track is to be sent for playback: to the computer’s internal synthesizer or to your
keyboard instrument. Bear in mind how many different instrument voices your keyboard is capable of playing back
at the same time.
•
The channel number lets you “tune in” a particular keyboard or module to this track. Do not select the same channel
number for two different tracks unless they use the same patch (voice).
•
The patch is the instrument voice. Your sequencer program may let you select a MIDI patch number or an instrument
name.
5
On your keyboard instrument, select a channel number or numbers on which to receive MIDI information. The channel
number(s) will depend on which track(s) you want to play back through your keyboard, as set up in your sequencer
program. If in doubt, select channels 1, 2, 3, and so on. You can usually change the channel number(s) as you play back
a piece of music.
