- Stop
Enable this option when MIDI synchronization or transport control is required.
Event View

Displays incoming MIDI events in Event View for monitoring and debugging.
Input Sources
USB
Receives MIDI messages from the USB connection.
EXT
Receives MIDI messages from other connected modules.

Recommended Settings
