    At default, Dimension Pro receives over all MIDI channels (Omni, as does the MIDI Learn process in all cases). To split the four Elements over MIDI Channels 1-4, go to the second icon of four (Options), just to the left of the DIMENSIONPRO logo. Select Set Program as Multitimbral. To get this setup to respond to other MIDI Channel transmissions, you have to do some sleight-of-MIDI in your host app. Many hosts allow you to redirect an incoming MIDI signal. So, for example, an input on MIDI Channel 14 is re-routed, then sent to Channel 3, and causes a response in Element 3 of DimPro.

    Now, if you're familiar with .sfz editing, you can overcome the limitations, and assign MIDI channels within a single Element. Here's a quick example that only picks up note transmissions from 4 non-adjacent MIDI channels, and routes them to 4 different sound sources.

    // ----------------------------------------------------------------
    // Multiple MIDI Channels.sfz
    // Different wavetables play when receiving over channels 5, 10, 12, or 16.
    // ----------------------------------------------------------------
    <control> default_path=00 - Wavetables\
    <region> lochan=5 hichan=5 sample=saw mk.wav oscillator=on
    <region> lochan=10 hichan=10 sample=sine.wav oscillator=on
    <region> lochan=12 hichan=12 sample=zeta who knows.wav oscillator=on
    <region> lochan=16 hichan=16 sample=organ 13.wav oscillator=on
    // ----------------------------------------------------------------
