Synth would typically be controlled by an external controller to operate the
three synths remotely.

Sets the Synth clock input for using the ‘Internal’ clock
(default). Options for external clock received through
the ‘MIDI in USB’ or ‘MIDI In jack’ input. Tempo reects
external device BPM and may display ‘EXT’ when set
external. Manual BPM changes are not possible when
an external tempo is detected.
MIDI Transport In
Sets the transport in port. Off (default), or select
control from an external device, received through the
USB or MIDI In jack.
MIDI Clock Out

sequencer and Synth functions. Set to Off or On.

Opens the synth engine page with the displayed CC
assignments. This is a visual indicator of the mapping.
8.4 External Keyboard Conguration
An external device, keyboard, or drum pads can be connected to control
the Synth by MIDI, either using the USB or via the MIDI TRS / 5 Pin MIDI
adapter. Notes can be controlled from an external keyboard to play the
notes of each of the three synths.

This setup would require the external controller to be set to
Channel 1, 2 or 3 to match the selected synth channel
shown in the example. Synth channels can be changed in
the Synth sub-menu.
Local Mode: When ‘On’ the Synth pads are playable,
controlling notes. When ‘Off’ the Synth pads are disconnected
allowing only the external controller to play notes in Synth.
