When MIDI PLAYBACK is OFF, identical messages are transmitted from USB and MIDI.
When MIDI PLAYBACK is ON, messages transmitted from the computer to the GI-20's USB
are sent through to MIDI OUT.
Refer to "Signal Flow" (p. 8).
2. Receive Data (MIDI IN)
Channel Voice Messages
Can be received only through the Control Channel.
However, these are received through all channels when the Control Channel is set to Omni
On.
Control Change
Control Changes (1–95) other than those for Bank Select, Data Entry, and general purpose
controllers 3–8 are transmitted with their channels converted as follows:
In MONO mode: changed to the six channels starting with the basic channel
In POLY mode: changed to the basic channel only
For more on the functions of each Control Change, refer to the data sheet for the sound

General purpose controllers 3–8 are imported to the GI-20 and controls assigned function of
on-board controllers.
