MIDI OUT Channels

channels at the same time. To transmit data from the C-720,
you need to choose which of the 16 MIDI channels you wish
to transmit data on, and which track they are assigned to.
Note: MIDI data is sent both to the MIDI OUT port, and the USB
port at the same time. For more information about MIDI Over
