As far as your problems with the LXP-1 and the MRC, I can't say that it
was a fluke, but it must have been some type of failure on one of them.
They do work together very well.

The JAMMAN does not have MIDI THRU, I can't help you with that.  You can
change what MIDI channel it responds to as follows:Press and hold the
RESET/BYPASS and FUNCTION buttons and turn the machine on.  You will get
a "d" in the display.  Release the buttons and press and release the
RESET/BYPASS button.  You will now have a number in the display
corresponding with the position of the MODE knob.  Turn the mode knob
until the display reads "15."  Press and release the RESET/BYPASS button
again and you will have a "1" in the display.  Turn the SELECT knob to
select the MIDI channel that you want the JAMMAN to respond to.  Press
and release the RESET/BYPASS button and turn the mode knob until you
have "9" in the display.  Press and release the RESET/BYPASS button one
more time and normal operation will resume.

This is explained on page 26 of the JAMMAN owners manual.  Unfortunately
the channel selection will not be stored when you power the machine down
so you will have to do this each time you power the machine on.  

I hope this helps!  Please let me know if you have any questions or if
there is anything that I can do for you.
