What is the current channel?
The current channel is the MIDI transmit channel for the keyboard and bender lever.

What is OMNI?
When you turn the OMNI setting on, all controllers will always transmit on the current
channel, regardless of the MIDI transmit channel that’s specified for each individual
controller.
