The following table describes all MIDI messages, how Europa responds to them, and whether or not they
are transmitted by front panel actions. With this chart, it is assumed that Europa keeps in sync with the
incoming MIDI messages even though some MIDI messages are ignored.

Notes
Note on
X X Note on with a velocity of 0 is treated as a note off. Locally played
notes will transmit a note on command with a velocity of 0 when
a key is released, and a velocity of 70h when a key is pressed. Key
velocity may be mapped to VCA ENV
