Step buttons	Item (Parameter name)	Value	Explanation
[1]	CH (Channel)	1–16, OFF	Sets the MIDI transmitting/receiving channel for the system. Use the MIDI channel you set here when using an external MIDI keyboard in place of the K-25m. Pattern selection (program change messages) is output using this channel.
[2]	CH.Lo (Lower Part Channel)	1–16	Specifies the MIDI receive channel for the lower part.
[3]	CH.UP (Upper Part Channel)	1–16	Specifies the MIDI receive channel for the upper part.
[4]	r.KEy (Remote Keyboard)	When you use an external MIDI keyboard in place of the K-25m, this sets which connector to use to connect the external MIDI keyboard.
		OFF	Select this when a MIDI keyboard is not connected. Normally, this is set to “OFF”.
		Nidi	Select this when connecting to the MIDI connector.
		USb	Select this when connecting to the USB port.
[5]	SynC (Sync Source)	This specifies the synchronization signal that this unit’s sequencer follows.
		Auto	Automatically detects the signal inputted to the jack.
		Int	The unit operates according to its internal clock. Select this when using this unit by itself.
		Nidi	The unit operates according to the synchronization signal input from the MIDI connector.
		USb	The unit operates according to the synchronization signal input from the USB port.
[6]	Syn.O (Sync Out MIDI Clock)	This sets the jack used to output the synchronization signal.
		OFF	A synchronization signal is not output.
		Nidi	A synchronization signal is output from the MIDI connector.
		USb	Messages are output from the USB port.
		ALL	A synchronization signal is output both from the MIDI connector and the USB port.
[7]	Thru (MIDI Thru)	OFF, On	If this is “ON”, MIDI messages that are input from the MIDI IN connector are retransmitted as-is from the MIDI OUT connector. MEMO Note messages from the channel used for the remote keyboard are converted to the MIDI channels used by lower/upper and then output.
