The following parameters are available on this page:

This section enables you to select ports that tr ansmit and
receive MIDI messages, such as Program Changes and
Control Changes.

SLOT. If you select USB or SLOT, specify the port number
(1–8) in the right parameter box.
•Tx PORT
This parameter specifies a port for general MIDI data
transmission. The available ports are the same as for the
Rx PORT parameter.
2MIDI THRU section
These parameters enable you to route incoming MIDI
data from one port or slot to another without changes.
Select a port for reception in the first parameter box, and
select a port for transmission in the next parameter box
(located to the right of the arrow). If you select USB or

transmitted between two cascaded 01V96is. If you select
MIDI, MIDI messages will be transferred between two
cascaded units. If you select “–,” no MIDI messages are
transferred.
The TRANSMIT and REQUEST buttons are used to syn-
chronize all parameters that are cascade-linked. The
TRANSMIT button synchronizes the connected 01V96i’s
parameters to your primary 01V96i’s parameters. The
REQUEST button synchronizes your 01V96i parameters
to the connected 01V96i’s parameters.
