So far as I know, MIDI ENABLE [MIDI MENU] refers to MIDI IN.  That 
is, if enabled is on, the intenal synth engine will respond to 
external midi channel data on that specific channel.  If off, it 
won't.

Possible application: (1) Have different channel setups for 1A-16A 
and 1B-16B.  (2) Switch MIDI IN CHANNELS 1 to 16 from A to B and B to 
A to have instant changes in how external gear (eg, controller) is 
routed to 1A - 16A v. 1B - 16B.

There are also implications for whether or not midi in data is merged 
to OUT A and/or OUT B.

As far as I know Pattern Edit Channel Assign refers to a different 
fucntion--namely, where you are going to send channel sequencer 
data:  nowhere, the internal sound engine, external [MIDI port A/B], 
or both.

If you have no external controller [gear, software, etc.] going into 
the E-Mu, I agree with rEalm--don't worry about it.
