Walt,

There are 2 places on the control unit where you can enter the piano 
channel options you described.  One setting is for playing MIDI files on 
floppy directly from the control unit, the other setting is for playing the 
MIDI or "To Host" input data.  You need to set it on both places to, say, 
Prg(All), if you want MIDI data to be handled the same way whether using 
floppy or computer input.

At least, this is how it works on my MarkIIXG, as much as I can 
remember.  I apologize for not being very precise as to where these 
settings are.  I am still away from my DKV, DKV manual, and computer with 
Cakewalk, at a time all this interesting MIDI conversation is going 
on...  Very frustrating!
