Explanation
Specifies how the controller section
(pads [1]–[16], panel knobs, etc.)
and the sequencer section (patterns)
are connected to the internal sound
engine.
OFF:
The controller section and
sequencer section are internally
disconnected from the internal
sound engine. Sound is produced
only in response to performance
data from an external MIDI device.

sequencer section are internally
connected with the internal sound
engine. Normally you will leave this

this setting if you want operations
on the TR-8S to only control an
external device.
