external MIDI device is always received and will play the
internal sound source.
Turning On the External Sequencer's
Thru Function
Turn the sequencer's Thru function ON. The sequencer takes
the performance data received at the MIDI IN connector and
outputs the data unchanged from the MIDI OUT connector
(refer to the previous section).
To determine whether or not your sequencer features a MIDI
Thru function and for instructions on making the Thru function
settings, refer to the owner's manual for your sequencer.
* If your sequencer does not have a Thru function, set the RS-5/
9's Local Control to ON.
Setting the Performance
Before beginning to record, first make the Performance
settings (select the Tones and Key mode, make any multi-
effects, chorus, and reverb settings, set the knobs, and so on).
The following settings are especially important.
Setting the Keyboard Send Channel to PART
(p. 120)
If this is set to PART, your playing will be transmitted on the
same channel as the Receive Channel of the Part that you are
playing. When recording to a sequencer, set this to PART.
Setting the Receive Channel for Each Part (p. 122)
Setting the Tone Change Receive Switch for
Each Part to ON (p. 122)
Chapter 11. Recording Performances on the RS-5/9 to an External Device

settings are recorded at the beginning of the song (refer to the
next section).

Recording

Recording the Performance's Settings
at the Beginning of the Song
First, record the Performance settings at the beginning of the
song. If this is done, playing back the song from the
beginning will automatically set the RS-5/9 to the
Performance settings that were used during recording
(regardless of the Performance that was selected when
playback began), ensuring that playback will use the correct
sounds and settings.
* Record the song at the tempo at which it is to be played back. If
the tempo used for playback of a song is changed from the
tempo selected at the time of recording, the RS-5/9 may not be
able to correctly receive the settings for the recorded
Performance, which may prevent proper playback of the
performance data.

The message "Transmitting..." appears in the display
during transmission of the data.

progress. Pressing a key sends Note messages from the MIDI
OUT connector. To cancel the Bulk Dump, press [EXIT].
After the transmitting is finished, the display will
indicate "Completed."
The [UTILITY] indicator goes out, and you are returned
to the previous screen.
