Import Settings
Adjust the Import Settings to match the MIDI file you want to import.
Start Measure Lets you specify in which measure to start the pattern import.
MIDI Channel Lets you specify the MIDI channel that the imported data is on. For example, if you are import-
ing from a General MIDI sequence with drums on MIDI channel 10, you would need to select that channel
number to import the drum part.
The MIDI Channel setting also lets you use multiple patterns to play individual parts of a Multi patch simul-
taneously.

notes.
Units Lets you specify the beat value used for the Count, either quarter notes or eighth notes.

play on the keyboard. This can be adjusted using the Vyzex Editor.
