hi again just have a question i took this directly from the manual.
"This option allows you select whether or not the keypad, touchstrip, 
and
footswitch data is transmitted on MIDI output port A or B. When this
option is set to: "don't transmit", the keypads, touchstrip, and 
footswitch
only control the "current" preset. (The current preset is the one 
currently
showing in the Preset View window). Touchstrip data is transmitted as 
the
Pitch Wheel controller. Footswitches are transmitted on the MIDI CC
numbers defined for Footswitch 1 & 2 in the Controllers menu."



does this mean that i can turn it off and just use a preset setting?
