Application Guide [MIDI]
This section describes the various MIDI related settings of the RT-323 and gives information on
MIDI track operation.
Available MIDI Functions
The RT-323 incorporates the following MIDI functions.
G Send/receive note information
MIDI note information can be sent out when hitting the pads, and note information can be
received to operate the drum kit and bass program of the RT-323 from an external
component.
G Send/receive control change information
Control change information triggered by JAM slider operation can be sent out. Control
change information can be received to obtain the same effect as when operating the JAM
slider, for adjusting the track volume or pitch.
G Send/receive program change information
Program change information triggered by switching the drum kit/bass program can be sent
out. Program change information can be received to switch the drum kit/bass program from
an external component.
G Send/receive MIDI sync messages
MIDI sync messages such as MIDI clock, start, stop, etc. can be sent and received, to
synchronize operation of the RT-323 to an external component such as a MIDI sequencer or
rhythm machine.
G Save internal data as bulk dump
Internal RT-323 data and setting information can be sent out as MIDI messages and stored
on an external component such as a MIDI sequencer. By sending these data back to the RT-
323, a previous condition can be restored at any time.
G Recording playing information on a MIDI track
The RT-323 incorporates a MIDI track which allows recording of MIDI messages in real
time. This is useful for example to record a MIDI sequencer in conjunction with song
accompaniment.
