The TS-12 behaves as though an enlarged 16-track sequence has been selected, and as though the
current MIDI Mode=MULTI. Incoming MIDI will be received on all 16 MIDI channels, to 16
discrete inbound Track/Channels. The default effect algorithm (46 CHORUS + REVERB 2) will
be installed, and all Track/Channels will be routed through the effect.
When you now run the external computer or hardware sequencer, you will hear the proper
sounds played from the TS-12 as program changes and note/controller data is transmitted to the
TS-12 via the MIDI In jack.
MIDI Out in General MIDI Mode
The TS-12 keyboard will always play the sound assigned to the currently displayed
Track/Channel number. Local playing on the TS-12 keyboard and controllers will be transmitted
via the MIDI Out jack on the displayed MIDI Channel number. This allows you to connect the
TS-12 MIDI Out jack to the MIDI In jack of a computer sequencer/hardware sequencer/other
MIDI Sound module.
This feature adds MIDI Controller capability to the TS-12 while in General MIDI Mode.
