Press WRITE after changing GL.Ch. Leaving with SHIFT cancels the change, and powering off without saving restores the previous setting.
Try these checks
- Hold SHIFT + PROGRAM MEMORY 4 (MIDI), select MSSG with PROGRAM/BPM and press the knob.
- Select GL.Ch, press the knob, and turn it to the required MIDI channel.
- Press WRITE to store the edit, then check that the external device uses the same channel.
Diagnose it
Did you exit the edit with SHIFT?
Yes: Repeat the change and press WRITE.
No: Recheck the saved channel and the sender’s channel.
What should happen
The edited global MIDI channel is stored rather than cancelled.
Why this happens
The manual distinguishes WRITE from SHIFT and warns that unsaved edits are lost.
If it still doesn’t work
