can use up to 16 MIDI input channels, each of which is represented by a drop-down menu.
The following destinations are available for each MIDI channel:

zones for playing multiple synths via a single MIDI channel
Synths 1, 2, 3 These are direct destinations to the 3 synth channels
Seq 1, 2, 3, 4 These destinations are for input to the 4 engines of the
Animator step-sequencer/arpeggiator
The MIDI channels router is used only for note events – MIDI CC assignment is performed using MIDI Learn and the
preferences panel.
