XI. Recording to PSR1000/2000 Sequencer from External MIDI Source

The on-board sequencer of the PSR1000/2000 can be used to record MIDI data from external sources, such as MIDI bass pedals, keyboards and hardware or computer-based sequencers. This is done by assigning the desired MIDI Receive Channels to 'Keyboard' mode.

1)Press the [FUNCTION] button.

2)Press the [H] ‘MIDI’ button.

3)Use the [BACK] and [NEXT] buttons to display the ‘PRESET’ page in the screen.

4)Press the [A] ‘All Parts’ button.

5)Press the [8^] ‘EDIT’ button.

6)Use the [BACK] and [NEXT] buttons to display the ‘RECEIVE’ page in the screen.

7)Use the [A] and [B] buttons to select a desired MIDI Channel.

8)Use the ’2’ [^] and ‘2’ [v] buttons to select 'KEYBOARD' for that Channel.

Any MIDI Channels with 'KEYBOARD' selected will receive incoming MIDI data from an external source, which can be recorded onto a corresponding Track in the PSR1000/2000 'Song Creator’.
