     * Certain MIDI controllers (especially older Yamaha keyboards) produce a continuous stream of MIDI control and timing messages, which were used for synchronization with older MIDI sequencing hardware. It is useful to suppress display of these messages, in order to monitor e.g. note/CC data.     * Certain MIDI controllers (especially older Yamaha keyboards) produce a continuous stream of MIDI control and timing messages, which were used for synchronization with older MIDI sequencing hardware.

     * Some CC numbers are traditionally used for special functions, rather than indicating actual //continuous controller// activity. For example, CC#0 is used for //bank select//, and CC#32 may also be used to extend the bank selection to a 14-bit value (aka "sub bank"). Unify is quite capable of interpreting even these "non-CC" messages to e.g. control Macro knobs, and furthermore, several commercial MIDI controllers (notably the KORG nanoKontrol) use such "non-CC" messages in this way.     * Some CC numbers are traditionally used for special functions, rather than indicating actual //continuous controller// activity.
