1.

Before starting the connection procedure, make
sure that the power to all devices has been turned
off.

2.

After reading “Connecting the External Equipment
to RD-300GX” (p. 17), connect an audio device/
system or headphones.

3.

Connect the external MIDI device with the MIDI
cable as shown in the figure above.

4.

As described in “Turning On the Power” (p. 19),
turn on the power of each device.

Transmitting Bank Select (Controller Number 0, 32) and
Program Change messages from the external MIDI device to
the RD-300GX allows you to switch Setups and Tones.
The MIDI messages transmitted by the external MIDI device
will be received by the RD-300GX to select Setups as shown in
the following table.
When switching Setups, you must match the MIDI channel of
the transmitting device with the RD-300GX’s Control channel
(p. 65).
When switching the tones in each part, match the MIDI
channel of the transmitting device with the RD-300GX’s
Receive channel. However, when the Control channel and the
Receive channel are both set to the same channel, the Control
channel takes priority, and Setups are switched.
The RD-300GX does not allow you to change the
MIDI channels of the parts. Parts 1--16 are fixed at
MIDI channels 1--16, respectively.
