Device ID When requesting data dumps from a remote source with MIDI System Exclusive messages, the 328 device ID must be set correctly. By default this is set to ID 1 and for most purposes is best left at this value. If you use linked consoles, the device IDs should be set differently so that the remote device is able to send System Exclusive commands to each desk individually. The Device ID can be set to any value between 1 and 127. Note that the Device ID is stored within a User Setup and is retained on power down.
