Set the VR-760's receive channel to match the external MIDI
device's transmit channel.
For instructions on setting the VR-760's Receive channel,
refer to "Setting the MIDI Channel for Each Part" (p. 68).
When both channels are matched, playing the external MIDI
device produces sounds from the VR-760's sound generator.
For instructions on how to set the transmit channel of the
external MIDI device, refer to the owner's manual for your
external MIDI device.
