[. . . ] The significance in this case is that turning the [MIDI] button off affects all of the Performances, whereas the aforementioned Edit mode settings can be assigned to individual Performances. For details about the P-200's MIDI capabilities, see page 64. 40 s MIDI Panic Although MIDI is very reliable, it is in fact so sophisticated that it is not without its occasional faults. For example, sometimes a connected tone generator or synthesizer responds to a Note On message, but not a Note Off message, thus causing a note to get stuck, which can be quite frustrating, especially in a live performance setting. Unexpected sustained notes, sudden losses of volume, and "hanging" pitch bends are also common MIDI problems that can happen when using a sequencer with the P-200 and other MIDI instruments. The P-200's MIDI Panic feature lets you instantly send note off and other messages to all connected MIDI devices. ACTIVATING MIDI PANIC Hold the [MIDI] button, then press the [REVERB] and [MODULATION] buttons at the same time.

MIDI Panic has no effect during sending/receiving bulk data or while MIDI Merge is on. s Panel Switch Lock This function allows you to "lock" the panel controls of the P-200, in order to avoid accidentally changing voices or modes in the middle of a performance.
