MIDI Bank Mode (BankMode)
TheBankModeyouchoosedetermineshowbanknumberswillbesentoverMIDIwhenthe
setupisselected,andinwhatformat.ItalsoaffectshowmanyMIDIbanksandprogramsyou
canchoose.
Nonemeansnobanknumberissent,justtheprogramnumber.Ctl0meansthatthebank

Arpeggiator
TheArpeggiatorparameterdetermineswhethertheArpeggiatorwillaffectnotesplayedinthe
currentzone.TheArpeggiatoraffectsonlythosezonesthathavethisparametersettoavalueof
On.
Foranygivenzone,theArpeggiatorplaysnotesonlywithinthatzone’sKeyRange.Ifthe
Arpeggiator,forexample,tries
toplayaC
#
4inazone,butthatzone’sKeyRangeendsatC4,the
notewillnotsound.However,anotherzonewhoseKeyRangeendsatC5willbeabletoplaythe
C

4fromtheArpeggiator.Therefore,settingazone’sKeyRangecanbeimportantindeciding
howitwillrespondtotheArpeggiator.TheLoKeyandHiKeyparametersonthe
