Channel array function5.6.2

The array of control elements has now the same function assigned to them,
but each element is consecutively assigned to incremental MIDI channel
numbers. Since the MIDI specication only provides 16 channels, the following

elements use the channel numbers 13, 14, 15, 16, 1, 2 and 3.
Swap function:
The Swap function allows you to switch the MIDI channel assignment of an
array grouped in eight: swap the assignment of channels 9–16 when channels
1–8 were selected beforehand. This means that, for the previous example,
the assignment of channels 12–3 would change to 4–11.
