All data arriving at the Phat.Boy's MIDI IN port is echoed directly
to the MIDI OUT port (Soft Thru). Phat.Boy knob data is merged with any
incoming data and transmitted via the MIDI OUT port.

Positions 2, 3 and 4 allow mode selection for using the Phat.Boy with
different instruments/sound sources.

value of knobs 1-13 from the MIDI OUT, allowing the data to be recorded
by a connected MIDI sequencer.
The RESET function resets accessible parameters on the connected device.
