Introduction
The
MC-202
is
a 2
channel
microcompos-
er
incorporated
with
a
monophonic syn-
thesizer.
Therefore,
by
connecting
another
monophonic
synthesizer (SH-09,
SH-2,
SH-101,
SYSTEM
lOOM, etc.),
you
can enjoy a
Synthesizer
Duet.
There
are
three
methods
of
entering
music
data
into
the MC-202;
©Typing the STEP, GATE
and
NUM-
BER
keys {No need to
play
the key-
board)
(2)
Playing
the keyboard
(D
Playing
the
keyboard
for
Pitch entry
and
tapping
the TAP
key
for
Rhythm
entry
In
the MC-202, we
consider
that a note
includes
the following
three
elements
(information).
A
note
of
a
given Step
Time has a
longer
Gate
Time
if
it
is
legato,
or
shorter
Gate
Time
if
it
is
Staccato. So
the
GateTinne
is
to
be set
apart from the Step
Time.
Refer
to
the
figures shown
below.
The
MC-202 can be
set
to
either
Play or
Edit
mode.
The Play
mode turns
the
built-in
synthesizer (or/and
the
external
synthesizer)
to
playing. In its
Edit mode,
you can
enter
the
data into
the CH-1
and
CH-2
separately.
If everything is
clear so
far,
you can
start
entering
the data.
