EDIT and then follow these steps:
1. Press the ASSIGN key on the keyboard. The LED will display CHO, asking you to
“choose” the
physical control you want to edit.
2. Just move the desired physical controller (For example, if you want to assign a
new MIDI CC to the SLIDER, move the SLIDER), and then the LED will show the
current MIDI Control Number of the selected controller.
3. Next, input the desired CC or advanced controller number with the NUMERIC
keys, and press ENTER. (MIDI CCs are numbered from 0-127 and their
functionality follows the MIDI specification, while the advanced controller functions
are numbered from 128 to 159.) Lastly, the LED will show
“don”
(done) to confirm
that the new assignment has been set.

6.3 MIDI CHANNEL
MIDI is a channelized communication protocol, which allows you to keep messages

computer, you’ll probably just keep the MIDI Channel set to 1 and allow your software to
do the routing for you. However, if you want to use the 606606 with external sound

selected MIDI Channel.
2. Next, input the desired Global MIDI Channel number (1-16) with the NUMERIC
keys, and press ENTER. The
LED will show “don” (done) to confirm that the new
channel has been set.
For added flexibility, the KNOBS of your 606606 can each be assigned to an
independent MIDI Channel. This allows you to keep the MIDI messages originating from
