External MIDI synthesizer
With the above MIDI connections, you can send MIDI
data from the S08's MIDI OUT terminal, while
sending MIDI data from the external sequencer to an
external MIDI synthesizer via the S08's MIDI THRU
terminal.
n MIDI THRU simply relays the MIDI messages received
via MIDI IN.
n The MIDI cable should be no greater than 15 meters in
length, and there should be no more than three devices in
a MIDI chain (chained in series via each unit's MIDI
THRU). To connect more units, use a MIDI Thru Box
for parallel connections. You may encounter errors if the
MIDI cables are too long or if too many devices are
chained together via their MIDI THRU connectors.

Connecting to a Personal
Computer
You can use a connected computer to control the S08
and to transfer S08 data to/from computer via MIDI.
With the included Voice Editor program, for instance,
you can edit the Voices of the S08.
There are two ways to connect your S08 to a computer:
Depending on your particular computer, the
connections may differ. (See below.)
n You may also want to change the Local On/Off setting
(pages 15 and 67), depending on how you are using the
S08 in your MIDI system.
n You will also need the appropriate MIDI application
(sequencer, editor, etc.), compatible with your computer
platform.

n The data via the MIDI IN terminal is ignored when using
the USB port (Host Select set to "USB").
n When connecting the S08 to a computer with a USB
cable, make sure that the USB cable is properly connected
before turning on the power.
Be careful not to turn off the power of the S08 if an
application using the USB/MIDI connection is currently
running.
n The USB connection can only be used for transfer of
MIDI data. No audio data can be transferred via USB.
n Once connected via USB, the S08 begins communication
after a short time.
n Keep in mind that when using Windows 2000/XP, some
operating problems on the computer may occur during
startup. If this happens, try turning on the power of the
S08 only after the computer is properly running.
n When connecting the S08 and your computer via USB,
make sure to connect them directly without routing
through a USB hub.
