Connecting the Pa1X to a MIDI accordion

section in the control panel will affect the notes received from
the master keyboard.
Connections and settings
To connect the master keyboard to the Pa1X follow this proce-
dure:
1. Connect the MIDI OUT connector of the master keyboard
to one of the MIDI IN connectors of the Pa1X (IN A sug-
gested).

channel of the Pa1X (see "MIDI: MIDI In Channels" on
page 238).
For information on the master keyboard programming, see
the master keyboard own user's manual.

Play, Song Play and Sequencer modes. The "1-Default" MIDI
Setup is automatically selected when entering the Sound Edit
mode. MIDI settings are therefore modified when switching to
a different operating mode. The current MIDI Setup is also
shown in the Global mode.

Note: Settings may change when new Global data is loaded
from disk. To protect settings from loading, use the Global

6. If needed, press one of the buttons in the MODE section to
go to the desired operative mode.
