A
PGM CHANGE INC & DEC buttons

messages on the selected MIDI channel. They work in
a sequential fashion (incremental or decremental).
Program change numbers can also be entered
directly, however (see p. 28).

This button is used to enable (button lights) or disable
the transmission of MIDI messages. Pressing it while
holding down the

the keys in the highest octave (NUMERIC KEYPAD)
and the keys in the lowest octave (TX MIDI CHAN-
NELS) for numeric entry of program change or MIDI
channel numbers.

interval. Holding it while pressing the OCTAVE/VARI-
