COUPLED NOTES:
this control allows to select the notes to send through MIDI. Select YES to send
both the notes actually played on the manuals and the ones resulting from the coupling controls.
For example, by playing on the pedalboard while the coupling GT/P is active, notes from the pedalboard
will be transmitted both on the pedalboard MIDI Channel AND on the Great MIDI Channel.
Select NO to send only the notes physically played (in this example, notes will be transmitted only on the
pedalboard channel).
