OPERATION
2. Preparation (Setting the Unit Numbers)
The PG— 10 edits sound data using the MIDI Exclusive messages
(=MIDI messages of the manufacturer's own). This means that the
PG— 10 cannot control aunit of adifferent manufacturer or aunit
which cannot receive the IVIIDI Exclusive messages.
To send or receive the MIDI Exclusive messages,it is nencessary to set
the Unit Number of the PG-10 and the sound module to the same
number. All the PG-10, D-10 and D-20 default to Unit Number 17,
therefore you do not need to change the Unit Numbers. If the Unit
Number of aunit to be used with the PG-10 is set to other than
17, change the number of the PG— 10 to that number.
(See page 39 "Changing MIDI Unit Numbers".)
