From this display you can set the parameters related to the
click sound (metronome) that is used during recording or
playback in the Song/Pattern/Performance mode.
n Since the click sound is created with the internal tone
generator, using click playback affects the overall polyphony
of this synthesizer.

From this display you can set which MIDI events will be
recognized/transmitted via MIDI. The settings made here
apply only to Song/Pattern playback data; they do not
affect the MIDI events generated by your keyboard playing
or panel operations and Arpeggio playback in the Voice
and Performance modes. The Song/Pattern playback data
will pass through the MIDI Filter before being sent to the
internal tone generator block as well as the MIDI OUT
connector.
MIDI messages transmitted from the external MIDI
instrument will pass through the MIDI Filter before being
recorded to the Song/Pattern track. They will be sent to the
internal tone generator without passing through the MIDI
Filter.
MIDI events to which the Filter is applied:
Note, Program Change, Control Change, Pitch Bend,
Channel After Touch, Polyphonic After Touch, System
Exclusive, Channel Mode Message
Settings: B (not transmitted/recognized), A (transmitted/recognized)
