Program Change

When Program Change (ProgChg) is set to On, the Artis sends program change commands
to its USB or MIDI port when you select Programs/Multis from the front panel. or from
your MIDI controller. Select a value of Off when you want to change Programs/Multis on
the Artis but don't want to send program change commands to the USB or MIDI out port.
Pressing both Previous & Next buttons simultaneously will set this parameter to On.

Channel Enable (ChanEn)

For each of the 16 MIDI channels, you can set the Channel Enable (ChanEn) parameter
to either Enable or Disable. For each channel, setting this parameter to Enable enables
the channel to transmit and receive MIDI messages and setting it to Disable disables such
functions.
Pressing both Previous & Next buttons simultaneously will set this parameter to Enable.

Local Keyboard Channel (Local Key Channel)

Changing the setting of the Local Keyboard Channel parameter is useful only when the Artis
is receiving MIDI information from an external source. Perhaps you have a favorite MIDI
keyboard that you use to control all the gear in your studio, or you use a lot of outboard
sequencing. If you're using the Artis as a standalone music workstation or performance
keyboard, you can ignore this parameter and leave it set to None.
The local keyboard channel enables the Artis to receive MIDI information on a single
channel, then rechannelize that information so you can play and control all four Zones of a
Multi, even if your MIDI source transmits on only one channel.

Program Mode

When you're in Program Mode, the local keyboard channel remaps incoming information to
the Artis's current channel. When using the local keyboard channel all the MIDI information
received on the Local Keyboard Channel also gets sent, after being remapped to the Artis's
MIDI Out and USB ports.

NOTE : When you perform a MIDI Program Change through MIDI
Program Change Mode, the setting of the Global Program Change
parameter (as well as the setting of the Global Destination parameter)
is ignored.
