transmitting MIDI messages to external devices.
This page shows you the current values for each of the
knobs, along with information about what they are
controlling. For instance, you can:

•Use the knobs to transmit MIDI messages
•Use the knobs to control arpeggiator
CONTROL ASSIGN switches and parameters
You can use Control Assign in the display or the front panel
REALTIME CONTROL, EXTERNAL, ARP switches to
switch the function of control surface. Since the display and
the front panel switches are linked, changing one will
change the other correspondingly.
In Combination mode, you can select one of three different
functions:

effects.
External lets you send MIDI messages to external MIDI
devices. Use the Global P1: MIDI– External Mode 1/2 page
to specify the MIDI message that will be transmitted.

You can freely change back and forth between the different
functions, without losing any of your edits.
