fig.R10-10
1. Before starting the connection procedure, make sure that
the power to all devices has been turned off.
2. After reading “Connecting the RS-5/9 to external
equipment” (p. 14), connect an audio device/system or
headphones.
3. Connect the external MIDI sound generator with the
MIDI cable as shown in the figure below.
4. As described in “Turning On the Power” (p. 15), turn on
the power of each device.
Setting the Receive Channel and
Tone Change Receive Switch
When you have finished connecting the external MIDI
device, match each Part’s Receive channel with the external
MIDI device’s Transmit channel.
Also, to enable Tones to be switched from the external MIDI
device, set the Tone Change Receive Switch for each Part to
ON. Factory settings have this set to ON for all Parts.
Channel (Receive Channel)
If the Receive Channel is set to a value of 1–16, that Part will
receive musical data on the specified channel.
Value: 1–16, OFF
* Since performance data cannot be received when the Receive
channel is set to OFF, no sound is produced.
Tone Change (Tone Change Receive Switch)
Value: OFF, ON
* Tones cannot be switched from an external MIDI device if the
Tone Change Receive Switch is set to OFF.
Different Receive Channel and Tone Change Receive Switch
settings can be made for each individual Part in a
Performance.
