Can’t Play Samples from an External

MIDI Device

Is the external MIDI device powered up?
Is the MIDI cable connected correctly?
Check the connection.
Could the MIDI cable be broken?
Is the MIDI channel set correctly?
Set the SP-404 and the external MIDI device to the same MIDI
channel. (p. 41)
Is the external MIDI device set to transmit MIDI
Note messages?
Check the settings of the external MIDI device.

Pattern Sequencer Does Not

Synchronize to the External MIDI

Device’s Tempo

Is the pattern sequencer correctly set to
synchronize?
Check the setting. (p. 41)
Is the external MIDI device set to transmit MIDI
Clock messages?
Some devices have a setting to turn MIDI Clock transmission on/off.
Some external devices such as sequencers may transmit MIDI Clock
messages only during playback.
Could the tempo of the external MIDI device
be exceeding the range of tempos to which
the SP-404 can synchronize?
The SP-404 can synchronize to a tempo in the range of 40–200. It may
be unable to synchronize correctly if the tempo is outside this range.
