The Event appears to have both five pin and USB midi ports. Looking at the back panel image five pin 1 is labeled GM while five pin 2 is labeled keyboard. That leads me to believe the second port can access Ketron exclusive patches like real guitar and real drums audio loops. The set up could also support midi channels 1 - 16 with midi 1 and midi channels 17 - 32 with midi 2.

The most surprising thing at this point is MIDI 2.0 is not mentioned.
