You may select to view particular channels using the CHON: field. This
defaults to OM (short for OMNI so you can view all channels but you may
select individual channels 1-16 if you only wish to monitor a specific
channel.

In the TRANS page, you can produce a test transmission of a MIDI note, and set
the channel, key and velocity of the note to be transmitted, using the I QN J
and I OFF I keys (F7 and F8). This key value and velocity will also be used by
the key when testing samples and programs using the ENT/PLAY key.
NOTE: When in EDIT SAMPLE mode, the raw sample is always played at its
base pitch (i.e. the pitch was sampled atj and not at the note value set here.
MIDI DATA DUMPS
Samples can be transferred between the S3200 and other samplers via MIDI
and this is done in the EXCL page:

To perform a MIDI data dump, you must make a MIDI loop (MIDI OUT of the
S3200 connected to MIDI IN of the other sampler, and vice versa). This is
necessary because of the way in which MIDI sample dumps are performed (in
computer terms, a handshake protocol with error detection/correction).
Though the S3200 is a 16-bit sampler, it can accept samples from other
samplers, including those from other manufacturers which use a lower bit
resolution. If transmitting to another sampler which uses fewer bits, the
S3200 simply truncates the low bits during the transfer. Instead of another
sampler, samples can be transmitted to and accepted from other devices (such
as computers) which are capable of storing and/or editing sample data with
the appropriate sample editing software. However, in this section we will
always refer to the other device as a 'sampler'. The fields are as follows:
c h a n n e l: This does not refer to a MIDI channel, but a
'logical channel' used in System Exclusive
protocol. Both samplers must be set to the
same channel for transfer to take place.
