Chas,
I think your observations are right on target. I don't know much about midi technology and that is why I think the manuals should be a bit more specific. But, you are right about taking the time to learn the big picture and get things going.

Another point, I could experiment with everything and really not hurt anything because both the controller and the module is easily reset to original specs.

I appreciate your suggestions and when I get it all together I can let others know how it works.
