MIDI
Here you can adjust MIDI-related settings for the microKORG XL.
MIDI CH (MIDI Channel)............................................................. [01...16]
Specifies the MIDI channel. When you wish to transmit program changes or 
system exclusive messages via MIDI, set the global MIDI channel to match 
the MIDI channel of the connected MIDI device.
LOCAL ......................................................................................[OFF, ON]
Switches the local setting on and off.
OFF: With this setting, controllers such as the keyboard and modulation 
wheel will be internally disconnected from the tone generator section. This 
setting prevents notes from being sounded in duplicate when the 
microKORG XL is connected to a sequencer and the performance data is 
echoed back from the sequencer. (Echo back is when the performance 
data transmitted by playing the microKORG XL is re-transmitted back to 
the microKORG XL from the sequencer.)
ON: Select this setting when you are using the microKORG XL by itself.
ROUTING ............................................................. [MIDI+USB, USB, MIDI]
Selects the connector(s) that will be used to transmit and receive MIDI 
messages.
MIDI+USB: The MIDI connectors and USB connector will be used to trans-
mit and receive MIDI messages. When receiving MIDI messages, the mes-
sages from both types of connector will be mixed, and MIDI messages 
received later will be given priority. For transmission, the same MIDI mes-
sages will be transmitted from both connectors.
