Chains receive MIDI data from a set of MIDI inputs. These MIDI inputs could be external MIDI devices (sequencers, keyboards and other MIDI controllers) or other MIDI sources (MIDI network services, etc.) and they can be configured for each chain separately. Each MIDI input can work in 2 different modes:

====Multitimbral mode====  
When a MIDI input is configured in multitimbral mode, only chains matching the input's MIDI channel will receive MIDI from the device. No MIDI channel translation is performed. MULTI mode allows receiving and managing each MIDI channel individually. Each MIDI controller drives the chains assigned to the controller's MIDI channel. If you are using an external sequencer or a MIDI controller that can sequence multiple tracks (Beatstep Pro, Keystep Pro, Novation Circuit, etc.), you may want to use multitimbral mode.
