and more to an external MIDI sequencer.
use the external sequencer as you would when recording
musical data, and perform the following steps on the TD-6 as
shown in the following diagram.

System Exclusive messages. In addition, confirm that the
sequencer is not set to “Do not receive System Exclusive
messages.”

101) makes operation more convenient when multiple TD-6’s
are connected.
