Working with a sequencer.
The FR-8x can be used as "input device" for recording your music. In
the case of a keyboard instrument, such a device is usually called a
"master keyboard".
The FR-8x can be used for two things: to "input" new parts (i.e. MIDI
events) and to play them back.
When you play on the FR-8x keyboards, it sends MIDI data to the
MIDI OUT socket. That socket must be connected to the sequencer's
MIDI IN port. MIDI data always go from OUT to IN:
Explanation
Allows you to assign a MIDI receive
and transmit channel to the selected
part. Select "Off" if the part in question
should neither receive nor transmit
MIDI data.
Allows you to assign a MIDI receive
and transmit channel to the Basic
part. Select "Off" if the part in question
should neither receive nor transmit
MIDI data.
The Basic channel can be used for
selecting Sets from an external
MIDI device (using program change
numbers 1~100). If your external source
sends Bank Select messages along with
the program change number, CC00 and
CC32 must both be set to "0".
Allows you to assign a MIDI receive
and transmit channel to the control
channel.
