will
explain
some ways
in
which MIDI can
help
you
take
full
advantage
of
the
three
play
modes
that
use Patches (Link Play mode, Keyboard Patch mode,
Sound
Patch mode).
Functions
in
each play
mode
are as
follows.

Using the
U-20 by
itself
The
U-20 can be connected with
various
MIDI
devices
and used
in
many
different
ways, but MIDI
provides
many
possibilities
even when
using the U-20
by
itself.
Here
we
will
explain
some
examples
of creative
ways
to
use a single U-20.
Link Play
Mode
When
using the
U-20 by
itself,
Link Play
mode
is
especially convenient.
In
Link Play mode, panel buttons
will select
Keyboard
Patches
and Sound
Patches together.
If
you
set
up
a
Sound
Patch
for each
Keyboard
Patch, the
keyboard
settings will
always be appropriate
for the
sound you
are playing. Or,
you can
use
program
change data transmitted from the
Keyboard
Patch
to select
memories on an
external
MIDI
Soimd
generator or effects device.
