Hi David,

The midi port depends on your hardware. That cannot be known.
The midi channel is 1 (like in Pd) however the EWI needs numbers between 0
and 15 while the common use of midi channels goes from 1-16 (like in Pd).

So the patch needs to show "1" while it is transmitting "0" to the EWI.

As far as the default values in general: Only a few of them are important to
be set to a specific value. Two of them are the pitchbend settings which
need to be set to 127. They do nothing at 124 or 125. I thought you tested
this?
(Although I have to admit that I have not updated the firmware or software
within the last 6 months.)
