Midi Mode; Midi Channel - Alesis MICRON Reference Manual

Config

6. MIDI mode

MIDI mode options are "single-channel" or "multi-channel."
This setting affects setups. In "single-channel" mode, the Micron
only sends and receives MIDI data over one of the 16 possible
MIDI channels. In "multi-channel" mode, each part and beat
sends and receives MIDI data on a separate channel.
Turn the control knob to select either "single-channel" or "multi-
channel."

7. MIDI channel

Your options will differ depending upon the setting chosen earlier
in MIDI mode:
● If the Micron is set to "single-channel" mode, you will be able
to select the MIDI channel.
● If the Micron is set to "multi-channel" mode, you will be able
to select the MIDI channel for the first part. The channel for each
additional part and beat will increment from there. (For instance,
if you set the channel to "4," then Part A will use MIDI channel 4;
Part B will use MIDI channel 5; etc.
Even in multi-channel mode, the Micron will never use a MIDI
channel lower than the channel specified in this option, so you can
assign the lower channels to other MIDI instruments.
Because there are only sixteen MIDI channels, a setup with more
than sixteen parts and beats will not work well in multi-channel
mode. The parts that would be assigned channels above 16 will
not send or receive MIDI data.
