Using the internal sound generator
■MIDI mode
The MIDI messages received at the MIDI IN connectors will be passed directly to the internal sound generator.
The SD-80 has two MIDI IN connectors, and each MIDI IN connector can receive data for 16 Parts. In MIDI mode, when you play using the MIDI connectors, group A corresponds to the MIDI IN 1 connector and group B corresponds to the MIDI IN 2 connector. In other words, the MIDI messages received at MIDI IN 1 will play Parts 01–16 of group A, and the MIDI messages received at MIDI IN 2 will play Parts 01–16 of group B. For example, a MIDI message received at MIDI IN 1 on channel 5 will play Group A Part 5 (A05) (when still set to the default settings).
*If you want to change the correspondence of Parts to MIDI channels, you can send the System Exclusive message
Rx.CHANNEL via MIDI.
*The MIDI indicator will light.
*If you want to use the SD-80 in MIDI mode, disconnect the USB cable from the SD-80's USB connector.
