There's nothing you can set about MIDI and To Host on the 01V, other than
which one you want to use, and what MIDI channel.
I've heard mention that you could use high unit numbers (greater than four,
I believe) but since Yamaha can't be bothered to write Windows NT serial
MIDI drivers, and I therefore have to use the Roland ones that 'only'
support two locical units, there's no way I can test this.
And it would have been so nice. The 01V only uses one MIDI channel, so I
could easily cascade the AN1x. But no, no such luck.

Oh, I'm not worthy to stand in your shadow. :)
Thanks!
