assigned to each control number. The window contains
the following items.

Assign events to other control numbers in

the same way.

When you operate the parameters you assigned on the
LS9, control change messages will be transmitted to
external devices. Similarly, if the corresponding con-
trol change messages are sent from an external device
on the appropriate channel, the parameters assigned to
those control numbers will change.
• The channel on which control changes are transmitted and
received is specified by the MIDI SETUP popup window
PORT/CH field (
