Tone arrangement is based on GS/GM. In case your external MIDI sound module is not based on GS or GM, you will need to make settings on your external MIDI sound module to change the sounds that correspond to each note number. For details on making these settings, refer to the manual of your MIDI sound module.

*If you are using an external MIDI sound module to play the rhythm guide, use the controls of the external MIDI sound module to adjust the volume level.

Synchronizing playback with a MIDI sequencer

The BR-864 can operate in synchronization with a MIDI sequencer.

When synchronizing with a MIDI sequencer, it is possible to synchronize the MIDI sequencer using the BR-864 (i.e., with the BR-864 as the master), but it is not possible to synchronize the BR-864 with the MIDI sequencer (i.e., with the BR-864 as the slave).

*For details on operation of your MIDI sequencer, refer to the operating manual for your device. For information regarding MMC, see p. 144.
