Basic operation
Selecting a Part (What is a Part?)
The RD-600 has a Part which plays the internal sounds (the INT part) and a Part to which you
can assign a sound of an external sound source (the TX part).

* If the indicator of a Part switch is dark, that Part will not be heard.
* With the factory settings, the INT UPPER part is selected.
The TX part also consists of two parts: an upper (UPPER) and a lower (LOWER). Each of these
parts can play a sound on an external MIDI device. On the Part switches, the TX UPPER part
indicator is red, and the TX LOWER part indicator is green.
* In order to use the TX parts, an external MIDI device must be connected. For details refer to p.24.
