The pan and volume that you specify here will be used
when you playback or record from the beginning of the
song. If you change the settings during recording, the
changes will be recorded as musical data, and pan and
volume will change during playback. You can also
change the settings during playback. However when
the song reaches a location where pan or volume data
was recorded, the settings will change accordingly.

This specifies the pan of MIDI track.
L001…C064…R127: A setting of L001 is far left and
R127 is far right. A setting of C064 will reproduce the
oscillator pan setting of the Program mode.
