Using Sequencer Software,
Modulation Lever and Knob
Movements Have No Effect
on the Sound
Some types of sequencer software may not
allow Soft Thru (i.e., data received at the MIDI
IN connector is not sent from the MIDI OUT
connector as is) for Exclusive messages.
• When recording Exclusive messages with such
sequencer software, set Local Control to ON (p. 124).
