(1) AC socket
This is where you need to connect the supplied power
cable.
(@) MIDI IN & OUT sockets
If you wish to control an external instrument from
your RD-150, connect its MIDI IN jack to the RD-150
MIDI OUT socket.
To control the RD-150 using an external MIDI instru-
ment (sequencer, synthesizer, etc.), connect its MIDI
IN socket to the MIDI OUT socket of the external
instrument.
(3) Pedal [Damper] socket
This is where you can connect the supplied DP-6 pedal
that will function as Hold pedal (and sustain the notes
you are playing).
(4) Pedal [Soft/Expr.] socket
This is where you can connect either an optional
DP-2, DP-6, or BOSS FS-5U footswitch, or an
optional EV-5 expression pedal. If you connect a fout-
switch, you can select the Soft or Sostenuto function.
If you connect an EV-5 pedal, it will function as
expression pedal for swelling effects.
Note: In either case, you can select whether the footswitch/
expression affects only one Tone (Upper or Lower) or both.
This selection only applies when layering Tones or splitting
the keyboard, however.
