Great article. Certainly fills a gap in the Reference Manual's description of "MIDI Send" in the Zone Settings.
The Reference Manual defines "MIDI Send" as:
"By turning this parameter on, MIDI Bank, MIDI Pgm Number, MIDI Volume, or MIDI Pan is transmitted to
the external tone generator depending on the setting of the Transmit Switch.
This is not available when the Transmit Channel is set to off or when all of the four Transmit Switches are set
to off."
Which I chose to ignore due to ambiguity and lack of "expected" (best guess) difference when toggling "MIDI Send". Real-time transmit of values when you change them in this screen makes much more sense. Wasn't ever looking for that as a feature - but good to know what the button does now.
... just so the reader can follow along - the article states (much more clearly):
MIDI Send - when active (green) the Program Change, Volume/Expression, and Pan Settings are sent in realtime from this screen. When inactive, the values are only sent when the Performance program is initially recalled. (Note: Bank Select changes are not sent until the Program Change is selected... This means: changing just the MSB and or LSB does nothing until a Program Change value is selected).
