Using
a
Sequencer
Here's
how
to
use the
U-20's keyboard
to record data
into a sequencer, and playback
the recorded sequence data
to
play the
U-20's
sound
generator.
•Connections and
Settings Connect
the U-20 and
the sequencer
as
shown.
Set the
soft
THRU
of the sequencer "On",
and
the U-20
to "Local
off". If
the sequencer has
no
soft
THRU
function,
set the U-20
to "Local
on".

The
"soft thru"
function of
a sequencer
allows data
received
at MIDI
IN to
be
re-transmitted from
MIDI OUT.
Keeping
in
mind
the
Rx
channel and sound you
will use
for each
part, create several Keyboard
Patches
for use
when
recording. Record each
part separately
into the
sequencer.
You
can
also
use the Arpeggio play
and Chord
play
functions.
