You may find it more convenient to use the local keyboard channel. In this case, the Artis
remaps incoming MIDI to the Artis's current channel, so in Program Mode, you'll always
play the Program on the Artis's current channel. Incoming MIDI also gets sent to the Artis's
MIDI Out and USB port. When this parameter is set, you will need to transmit on the local
keyboard channel from your DAW or controller keyboard for the Artis to respond correctly.

Multi Mode

Things are a bit different for playing Multis. In this case, you must use the Local Keyboard
Channel to be able to play and control all of the Multis Zones. Set Local Key Channel to
match the channel your external MIDI source is using (if for example your MIDI source
transmits on Channel 1, set Local Key Channel to 1). All MIDI information that the
Artis receives on the local keyboard channel gets remapped to the channels and control
destinations used by the Zones in the Multi.
The Artis also remaps certain MIDI Controller messages that it receives on the Local
Keyboard Channel, so that they correspond (in most cases) to the default assignments for
the Artis's physical controllers (Mod Wheel, sliders, etc.). Physical controller assignments are
handled by Multis, and are defined per Zone in Multi Edit Mode. Each Zone of a Multi has
its own controller assignments.
Pressing both Previous & Next buttons simultaneously will set this parameter to None.

Sysex ID

The SysEx ID parameter determines the ID number for the unit if you are using more than
one device with the same MIDI manufacturer ID number. You can set this parameter to any
number from 0 to 127.
Unless you have multiple Artis keyboards receiving Sysex messages from a single source, you
will not need to change the Sysex ID from the default setting of 0.
If you do have multiple Artiss receiving Sysex messages from a single source, make sure
each Artis has a different Sysex ID. This will allow you to direct Sysex messages to the
appropriate Artis by specifying which unit with the Sysex ID byte that's included with every
Sysex message.
To have the unit respond to Sysex messages regardless of the Sysex ID, set Sysex ID to 127.
Pressing both Previous & Next buttons simultaneously will set this parameter to 0.
