The MIDI-program changes are issued using numbers 0 – 127. Unfortunate circum-
stances have created a situation where the Japanese standard uses the numbers 1
– 128. The data values transmitted are still 0 – 127, but they are typed in and dis-
played as 1 – 128. This means, when you send a command from equipment using
US standard to equipment using Japanese standard, the digit 0 will be displayed as
1. The SAM naming facility for MIDI channels therefore includes a format setting
option to cater for this, see section 8.4 MIDI names.

To help you remember which equipment is being controlled by which MIDI-channel,
you can assign a name to each channel. Right-click over the column headers at the
top of the MIDI-window to open a menu with the option Set names. Click this option
to open a dialog box in which you can enter and edit channel names. On the right
hand side of the name column is a check box which you can check/uncheck depend-
ing on whether you communicate with Japanese standard based equipment (see
8.3.2 USA or Japan format ).
