Controller quirks
Some synthesizers and controllers cannot send the full range of MIDI program
change messages (1-128). With them, you can't access all the registers in the
LXP-15 II. Others may appear to be able to send only 32, but actually have a bank
mode that
does let you send all 128 program change messages. Also, be aware
that some MIDI devices use a program numbering system that uses 0-127
instead of 1-128. If in doubt, see the manual for your controller.
When using Tempo as a control Source (see Patching), you must send MIDI
Clock messages from the MIDI controller to the LXP-15 II as shown below.

The figure below shows the MIDI connections for controlling the LXP-15 II
simultaneously with MIDI Clocks from a sequencer, and messages from another
MIDI controller. Note that the controller is set to “local control off” and the
sequencer is set to “echo input.”
