Using Initial Setup Send with a Sequencer
The most common use for the Initial Setup Send function is in recording a song
on a sequencer that is intended for playback with the PSR-350. Essentially, this
takes a “snapshot” of the PSR-350 settings and sends that data to the sequencer.
By recording this “snapshot” at the start of the song (before any actual perfor-
mance data), you can instantly restore the necessary settings on the PSR-350.
Provided there is a pause in the song, you could also do this in the middle of a
song — for example, completely changing the PSR-350 settings for the next sec-
tion of the song.

1First, set up the sequencer for recording.
The actual procedure may differ depending on your particular equipment and
software.
Ideally, you should leave two or more measures of silence (no performance
data) before the song begins. The Initial Setup data should then be recorded
to this space in the song.
2Select the MIDI operations.
Press the left Overall button, repeatedly if necessary, until MIDI is selected.
3Select the Initial Setup Send operation.
Press “2” on the numeric keypad to select operation #2, Initial Setup Send.
If the INITSEND display appears instead of LOCAL in step #2 above, step
#3 is unnecessary.
4Press the [START/STOP] button.
Start the Initial Setup Send operation.
5Start recording on the sequencer, then send the Initial
Setup data.
Start recording on the sequencer in the normal way, then — with as little
delay as possible — press the [+] button to actually start transmitting the
data.
