Synchronizing Only the Pattern
Tempo with a MIDI Sequencer
To play the patterns on the SP-303 along with the
performance of song data recorded to a MIDI sequencer at
whatever timing you decide, layering the two performances,
you should set the SP-303 so that Start and Stop messages
sent from the MIDI sequencer are ignored.
1. Turn off the power switch of the SP-303.
2. Hold down [TIME/BPM] and slide the POWER switch
to ON.
MIDI Sync mode is indicated in the display. In MIDI Sync
mode, the SP-303 switches to synchronized operation.
The meaning of each symbol is given below.
Aut (Auto Sync) :
When MIDI Clock is used, it is detected automatically
and the tempo is synchronized. Additionally, patterns

Continue messages received.
* MIDI Start, Stop, and Continue messages are not received
during recording of patterns.
tMp (Tempo Sync) :
When MIDI Clock is used, it is detected automatically
and the tempo is synchronized. However, MIDI Start,
Stop, and Continue messages are not received.

messages are not received.

Playing Samples Without
Synchronizing the Tempo
If you only want to use the note messages from the MIDI
sequencer to play samples on the SP-303, it is easier if you

turn off synchronization of the tempo.
1. Turn off the power switch of the SP-303.
