(2) Connecting with Other MIDI Devices
Be sure to have power OFF on all units before attempting to make any connections.
The connection between the SK-50 and your other MIDI device needs to be made using MIDI
cable (optionally available: MSC-15/25/50). MIDI cables can be obtained from the retailer
where you purchased your SK-50.
Connecting with a MIDI Sequencer or Player
After connecting your SK-50 to a MIDI sequencer or player, you will be able to carry out multi-
track recording while you play the keyboard, and can enjoy listening to any commercially
available music data designed for GS/GM compatible sound generating units.
Place the COMPUTER mode selection switch on the rear of the SK-50 at the MIDI position,
then connect two MIDI cables as shown in the illustration below.
When Soft Thru function on your computer is turned ON, data for everything you play on the
SK-50’s keyboard will circle around through the external unit and come right back again. To
avoid having every note sounded twice, you should turn OFF the Local function on the SK-50
(ā˜ž p. 23). Each time the power is turned on, the Local Setting will always be set to OFF.
