Status
ThiscontrolsthestatusofMIDIandtheinternaltone
generatorforeachTimbre.Normally,ifyou’ replaying
aninternalProgram,thisshouldbesettoINT.
IfthestatusissettoOff,EXT,orEX2,thatTimbre’s
internalsoundswillnotbeplayed.Offsimplydisables
theTimbreentirely.TheEXTandEX2settingsallow
theTimbretocontrolanexternalMIDIdevice.

MIDI filter settings
ForeachMIDIFilteritem,youcanspecifywhetheror
notthecorrespondingMIDImessagewillbe
transmittedandreceived.Thecheckeditemswillbe
transmittedandreceived.
TheMIDIfiltersdon’tturnthefunctionsthemselveson
oroff.Instead,thefilterjustcontrolswhetherornot
thatMIDImessagewillbetransmittedandreceived.
