Controlling the Grandstage X’s tone generator from an external MIDI device

similar device, connect the MIDI OUT connector of the external MIDI device to the Grandstage X’s
MIDI IN connector with a MIDI cable.
Connecting the Grandstage X to an external MIDI sequencer, computer or
similar device
To record what you play on the Grandstage X to an external MIDI sequencer/computer (connected via
MIDI interface) and then use the Grandstage X for monitoring or playback while recording, or to use
the Grandstage X as both a keyboard for inputting notes and also as a MIDI tone generator, connect
the MIDI OUT/IN connectors of the Grandstage X and your external MIDI sequencer/computer respec-
tively (OUT to IN, and IN to OUT).
Tip: Connecting via the USB port is handy when you want to connect the Grandstage X to your computer.
Tip: You can set different MIDI channels for the MAIN, LAYER and SPLIT parts. When the Grandstage X is con-
nected to an external MIDI sequencer, computer or similar device, this lets you control the three parts of this
instrument as separate sound sources.
→ MIDI channel settings (MIDI ch)
→ MIDI ch Mode (MIDI channel mode)
→ LAYER and SPLIT part MIDI channel settings (Layer Part ch, Split Part ch)
You may not be able to exchange the MIDI system exclusive messages of the Grandstage X with
certain MIDI interface devices.
