Playing the XP-80 sound source from an
external MIDI device
<Procedure>
Connect the XP-80 MIDI IN to MIDI OUT of the exter-
nal MIDI device using a MIDI cable.
Set the XP-80's MIDI channel to match the external
MIDI device's transmit channel.
The MIDI channel is determined by the following parame-
ters.
Patch mode: Patch Rx-Ch parameter (SYSTEM/MIDI/MIDI
Param 1)
Performance mode: Channel parameter (PERFORM/MIDI/
Part MIDI), Rx Switch parameter (PERFORM/MIDI/Part
MIDI) ON
Synchronization with external
MIDI devices
Syncing an external sequencer to the XP-
80's sequencer
<Procedure>
Connect the XP-80 MIDI OUT to the MIDI IN of the
external MIDI sequencer using a MIDI cable.
Press [SEQUENCER] to call up the Play display
(SEQ(Song)).
Set the Sync Mode parameter (SEQ/Setup/SEQ
System Setup) to INTERNAL and the Sync Out para-
meter (SEQ/Setup/SEQ System Setup) ON.
Set the external sequencer to sync to the XP-80's
sequencer.
Press [STOP/PLAY], and the XP-80's sequencer and
the external sequencer will begin playback simultane-
ously.
When the playback ends on the XP-80's sequencer, the exter-
nal sequencer will also stop playback. To interrupt playback,
press [STOP/PLAY].
Syncing the XP-80's sequencer to an
external sequencer
<Procedure>
Connect the XP-80 MIDI IN to the MIDI OUT of the
external MIDI sequencer using a MIDI cable.
Press [SEQUENCER] to call up the Play display
(SEQ(Song)).
Set the Sync Mode parameter (SEQ/Setup/SEQ
System Setup) to SLAVE.
Set the external sequencer so that it will transmit MIDI
clock messages.
When you start playback on the external sequencer,
the XP-80's sequencer will begin playback.
When the playback ends on the external sequencer, the XP-
80's sequencer will also stop playback. To interrupt play-
back, stop playback on the external sequencer.
If you just want to control song playback start/stop
from an external sequencer and do not need the XP-80
to sync to the incoming MIDI clock, set the Sync Mode
parameter to REMOTE.
