Display	Function
B.CH	When the VC-1 is being controlled in Mono mode, it receives the Voice
	massages (except for Note Event, Pitch Bender) on the Basic Channel
(Basic Channel mode)
	from the external device.
	When the VC-1 is being controlled in Mono mode, by an external device
G.CH	that has a Global Channel (one number smaller than the basic channel)
(Global Channel mode)	it can receive all the Voice massages (except for Note Event, Pitch
	Bender) On the Global Channel.
MdeOFF	In this mode, the VC-1 does NOT receive the Mode massages from the
	external MIDI device, but is assigned to the Key mode as set on the
(Mode Message OFF mode)
	VC-1.

SeparateCH (Receive Channel in Separate Mode)

When SEP (Separate Mode) or SEP-S(Separate Solo Mode) is selected, the Upper and Lower Tones can be controlled on different channels. The Lower Tone is controlled by the basic channel, and the Upper Tone is controlled by the receive channel set here. The MIDI keyboard can control only the Upper Tone. Value: 1 – 16

*The receive channel of each Patch can be set to a different number from the channel set here. (p. 25)

Prog.C (Program Change Switch)

To receive or transmit Program Change messages, set this to On.

Program Change messages are transmitted only when a Patch is selected by operating the V-Synth XT’s panel buttons, or when the Program Change number to be transmitted is altered also on the V-Synth XT’s panel. IN other words, Program Change messages are not transmitted by patch selection with the Program Change messages sent from an external MIDI device.

Value: Off, On

*The Program Change Number of each Patch can be set to a different number from the number set here. (p. 25)
