Controlling PSR-282 Playback from an External Device — External Clock

This function allows you to “slave” the PSR-282 to a “master” MIDI device, so
that playback of the PSR-282 is controlled from that device.
Normally, the PSR-282 is set up to control another MIDI device, such as in play-
ing the sounds of an external tone generator. You can also control the PSR-282
from an external device, such as playing back song data on a sequencer using the
voices of the PSR-282, or playing the PSR-282 voices from a separate MIDI key-
board or controller.
When you want to control playback of the PSR-282’s styles or songs from an
external MIDI device, you’ll have to change the clock setting on the PSR-282 to
external.

1

Press the [TEMPO/TAP] button, then enter “000” (External

Clock) for the Tempo value.

“ECL TEMPO” is shown in the display, indicating that the PSR-282 is wait-
ing for an external clock signal.
Any value other than “000” automatically sets the PSR-282 to Internal
Clock.

Make sure the PSR-282 is set to the appropriate mode

(Song or Style), and start playback on the connected

device.
