The INPUT knob selects on which channel the M5000 is to receive MIDI
data. If the knob is turned fully counter-clockwise, 'omni-mode' is selected. In
this case, the M5000 receives MIDI data on all channels.
When CTL.IN (Controller Input) is enabled, the M5000 will respond to MIDI
Controller messages. Controllers are used for changing algorithm-parameters
(more on this below in ‘MIDI Controllers’).
When PRG.IN (Program Input) is enabled, the M5000 will respond to MIDI
Program Change commands. If the
PRG.MAP
(Program Map as described
below) is enabled, any received Program Change is modified to select a
different program as specified in the Program Map.
PRG.BANK selects which bank presets are recalled from with the Program
Change command.

The OUTPUT knob selects on which MIDI channel a MIDI Program-Change
will be output, if a preset is recalled on the front panel.
The PRG.OUT knob selects whether or not a MIDI Program Change will be
issued when a program is recalled.
OFFST-O (Output-offset)
OFFST-I (Input-offset).
OFFST-O and OFFST-I (output and input offsets) are provided, because different
manufacturers implement program changes differently. It is a typical problem that your
sequencer may number programs from 1 to 128, while your effect-processor may number
programs from 0 to 127. The fix for this is the
offset . The input-offset is added to the number
of the program you wish to recall. With the settings shown above, program #5 is recalled
when you ask for program #5 on your sequencer, which is the most natural way. Without the
offset, program #4 would be recalled when you ask for program #5.
The output-offset works in the opposite way, because the program-change is going in the
opposite direction.
You can also use the offsets to access a completely different range of programs. With an
input-offset of 101, you can recall presets 101 and upwards by asking for presets 1 and
upwards (which MIDI normally would make impossible).
