The MIDI Monitor function found in System Edit mode displays incoming controller and 
program change messages. This can be very helpful in trying to isolate MIDI problems. The 
MIDI Mismatch Warning function, also found in System Edit mode, when enabled, displays 
a warning when the MP-2 receives MIDI messages on a different channel than that to which 
it is currently set. This, too, can be useful in troubleshooting.
