  • Page 3 MIDI channel data you want your old synth to respond to. Only data received on that channel will be sent out of the PRO-2000 MIDI out, and any other channels will be filtered out. These data can be sent out on a different channel if required (see rechannellizing above). An example of rechannelizing might be to change the transmit channel of early DX7s, for instance, that can only transmit on MIDI channel 1, to another MIDI channel, say 2.

  • Page 8 CV x LFO DEPTH CONTROL (pb, vel, aft, controllers 0-119, default: #1 mod wheel). - assigns which MIDI controller will control the LFO depth of modulation of the CV output. CV x LFO DEPTH AMOUNT (for controller maximum 0-127, default:65). - allows you to set the maximum LFO depth for the CV out CV x LFO ASSIGN Use LFO number (1 to 2, default: A=1, B=2)
