Link to 16TRK Sequencer

Link is a function you may need when working with the 16-track Sequencer. It allows you to establish a connection between the selected Composer track (in 16-track Sequencer mode) and the keyboard, so that the keyboard triggers the same Tone as the one assigned to the track.

Normally, such as when taking advantage of the Minus-One facility, it is wiser to set Link to Off. Doing so means that you can select whichever Tone you like for the part you play. If Link is set to On, the keyboard uses the Tone assigned to the track you select, thereby overruling you own selection.

1.On the Utility Menu screen, press <√√PAGE> or <PAGE®®> to select the following display page:

2.Use the buttons to the left and right of the display to switch Link on or off.
