The VK-88 has two MIDI IN connectors: MIDI IN and PEDAL IN. Messages input
through the MIDI IN connector can be used to control specific Parts, according to the
MIDI channel numbers of the MIDI messages. Messages input via the MIDI PEDAL IN
connector are received as messages for the Pedal Part, regardless of the channel number.
