How the DP/4 Uses MIDI Channels
The DP / 4 can respond to a maximum of six MIDI channels at once. Each Unit (A, B, C, 0 and
Config) can have its own MIDI channel on which to receive program changes and MIDI
Controller 7 (volume) information. Additionally, there
is a separate controller channel used to
receive controllers,
pitch bends, channel after touch, key pressure, note events and velocity.
Each of these channels can
be enabled individually. The only restriction is that the Config
channel has to
be different than the Unit channels. The Unit channels may all be the same, and
the controller channel can be the same as any Unit or Config channel.
The
current config controls which channels are actively used. When units are ganged, the lower
numbered (further left) units channel will be used:
• In a 1 Source Config, Unit A's channel is used.
• In a 2 Source Config, Unit A's and Unit C's channels are used.
• In a 3 Source Config, A, B and C's channels are used .
• In a 4 Source Config, all Unit's channels are used.

02 - Program Change
Range: Ignored or Received
This parameter determines whether you want to receive or ignore program changes with this
particular MIDI setup. The
DP / 4 can receive MIDI program change messages to select presets.
Program changes received on the Config channel select config presets. Program changes received
on the Unit channels select 1, 2, or 4 unit presets, depending on the current config and the rules
defined
in the previous discussion. Program change reception can be enabled separately for each
unit. There is also a MIDI
program change master switch which has to be enabled in order to
receive
any program changes for individual units (see description of parameter 53).
