Using the MV-8000 with external devices

Using the MV-8000 in Multitimbre Sampler Mode

In Multi Timbre Sampler mode, the MV-8000's instruments function as a multi-timbral
sound module. And the performance data from the velocity pads is transmitted as
MIDI messages (MIDI OUT A/B, R-BUS).
Playing the MV-8000 from an externally-
connected sequencer

multiple channels of MIDI performance data from an externally-connected MIDI
sequencer.
