K1 VDS - Version 1.0 

 K1 Peculiarities
 ----------------
 
 1. The K1 System Exclusive MIDI implementation does not include 
    individual parameter change messages for MULTI parameters.
    Therefore the entire patch has to be sent to the K1 everytime
    a parameter change is made.  This accounts for the speed 
    differences between the SINGLE and MULTI editors.
    
 2. When a bank of patches is retrieved from the K1 by the VDS, the data
    is checked for accuracy using a checksum method.  The K1 used in the
    development of this product sent bad data 20% of the time.  If a
    message is presented indicating a receive error,  retry the retrieve
    request.        


 Additions To The VDS Manual
 ---------------------------

 1. MIDI Channel Thru Option:  'TH' may be selected for the MIDI
    channel in the Sequencer dialog.  Selecting 'TH' will will allow
    all MIDI channel messages to pass through the VDS unaltered. 
    When the MIDI channel is set to '1' - '16' all MIDI channel
    messages are reset to the specified channel. 
    
    This function was added to allow devices such as the Yamaha WX7
    MIDI wind controller to send MIDI messages on more than one channel 
    at a time.
