Input routing and keyboard control
Manufacturer documentedUtility → MIDI has separate MIDI From and MIDI To routes. The incoming channel can be a selected channel or All.
MIDI Seq/Synth selects whether incoming notes address the synth directly or pass through the arpeggiator/sequencer. Local Control disconnects or reconnects the built-in keyboard's internal path.
Clock and transport
Manufacturer documentedUtility → Sync separates Clock Source, Clock Send and transport reception/transmission. Choose the clock input used by your setup rather than assuming a cable alone selects it.
The clock jack has configurable pulse formats. Check both ends before connecting analog clock; this page does not claim that an arbitrary clock source is compatible.
