Advanced Use
❍ When making MIDI channel settings
MIDI uses sixteen MIDI channels (1–16). If you want to play
a connected external device, there will be no sound unless
the MIDI channels of the transmitting and receiving devices
match.
For information on the MIDI transmit/receive channels
in effect when the power is turned on, refer to “MIDI
Implementation” (p. 71).

Hold down the HARMONIC BAR PART [UPPER] and
[PEDAL] buttons and press the [REVERB] button.
The indicators of buttons [1]–[8] will blink.
2.
Use the [1]–[8] buttons to select the part whose MIDI
channel you want to change.
There are 13 MIDI-related parameters. You can select all

There are seven parameters that change the MIDI
channel.

If you connect an external drum pad or sequencer and
set its MIDI transmit channel to channel 10, you will be
able to play drum sounds on the VK-8. In this case, the
sounds of the GM2 standard drum set will be played (p.
