When switching Setups, the MIDI channel of the transmitting device
must be matched to the RD-300SX's controller channel (p. 39).
When switching individual parts, match the MIDI channel of the
transmitting device to the RD-300SX's receive channel. However, if
the same channel is set for both the control channel and receive
channel, the control channel takes priority, resulting in Setups being
switched.
