AllNotesOff

If you set this to Ignore, the PC1 will ignore the MIDI All Notes Off message. Some instruments

and sequencers (notably older Roland instruments) will send this message when no notes are

being held, even if the sustain pedal is still held. If you are hooked to a Roland sequencer and

find that the PC1 doesn't seem to sustain, set this parameter to Ignore and the problem will go

away.

The default value is Respond, which causes the PC1 to respond to All Notes Off messages.

Sets the ID used by the PC1 for MIDI SysEx messages--which the PC1 uses for dumping objects.

The default value is 0.

If you always dump objects--programs, setups, or effects--to the same device and reload them

from that device, you won't have to worry about this parameter; just leave its value at 0 and your

dumps will work just fine. If you plan to dump objects to different instruments in a MIDI chain,

however--or if you want to reload different dumps to different instruments in a MIDI chain--

you'll need to change the device ID for at least one instrument. See More About SysEx Dumps on

page 4-7.

Configures the PC1 for monaural (mono) or stereo audio output. The default is Stereo. You might

want to use mono mode if you have a mono sound system, or have only one channel available on

your mixer.
