The Global Parameters
9-5
Destination (Dest)
The Destination parameter determines the destination of  MIDI data generated by striking 
keys or activating controllers. This data can be sent to the SP5 sound engine, through the 
MIDI out ports, or both. You can set this parameter to any of  the three destinations for this 
parameter:
NOTE: In the table below, MIDI OUT applies to both the ve pin MIDI OUT and the 
USB ports.
Local MIDI data is sent only to the SP5 sound engine. MIDI OUT is 
disabled.
MIDI MIDI data is sent only through MIDI OUT. The sounds of  the SP5 
are disabled.
Local+MIDI MIDI data is sent both to the SP5 sound engine and through the 
MIDI OUT.
Select the desired destination depending on your needs. If  you want to play the SP5, but 
not send any MIDI information to other MIDI instruments, then select Local. If  you want 
to use the SP5 strictly as a MIDI controller for the other modules in your MIDI chain, 
then select MIDI. If  you want to make use of the SP5’s sounds as well as use it as a MIDI 
controller, then select Local+MIDI. Pressing both Value buttons simultaneously will set this 
parameter to Local+MIDI.
Bank Select (BankSel)
The Bank Mode parameter determines the controller number with which MIDI Bank 
change messages are transmitted. For MIDI Bank change messages, various manufacturers 
have chosen different MIDI controller numbers. Most have chosen 0, 32, or both. You can 
set this parameter to any of  the following three controller IDs: Pressing both Value buttons 
simultaneously will set this parameter to 0/32.
0 MIDI Bank change messages are sent with controller number 0.
32 MIDI Bank change messages are sent with controller number 32.
0/32 MIDI Bank change messages are sent with both controller numbers 0 and 32.
