Connecting External MIDI Equipment

You can connect an external MIDI device using a MIDI cable (available separately) and control it from this synthesizer. You can also use an external MIDI keyboard or sequencer to control the synthesizer’s internal sounds. This section introduces several different applications of MIDI.

The HOST SELECT switch on the rear panel should be set to “MIDI.” Otherwise, MIDI information will not be transmitted from the synthesizer’s MIDI OUT connector.
