E.g: your drums VSTi in the DAW get's Betelgeuse as "midi in" and then the channel set to 10. In this case, the drums sequence will be sent from Betelgeuse to the drums VSTi via channel 10.  The active channels of Betelgeuse are: midi channels 1-6 for solo 1-6, channels 10 - drums, channels 11 - percussion, channel 12 - bass, channels 13-15 - accompany instruments.
