OPERATION
A.
OUTLINE OF THE MKS-SO
The MKS-80
is
a
polyphonic
syntiiesizer
module
that
can be played by the
MIDI music messages sent
from the external device.
If
the
MKS-80
is
properly set
up
with
a
device
transmitting
MIDI music
messages,
it
will
be ready
to
be played by
powered
on.
There
are
64 tone
colors
(we
call
them Tone Memories) and 64
com-
bination
programs
of
a
tone color (or a pair of
tone
colors)
and
various effect
and
mode
settings
(we
call
them
Patch Presets)
preprogrammed
in
the
MKS-80's
memory
which can be recalled
to be used
just
by
pressing buttons.
Also, these
Tone Memories and
Patch Presets
can be
edited as
you
like.
This
editing operation,
however,
does not automatically rewrite the existing
tone
color.
If
you wish to write the edited
tone
color,
appropriate writing operation
is
required.

The
supplied
Memory
Cartridge
M-64C
can be effec-
tively
used
to
expand
the
memory
capacity.
The
M-64C
has
two
separate blocks
A
and
B,
and
can
retain
64
different
Tone
Memories and Patch
Presets
in
each block.
The
cartridge
memory
can be used
exactly
like
the internal
memory
of the
MKS-80.
You may
consider
it
as a part
of
internal
memory.
Be
sure that
the Protect Switch on
the Cartridge
Is
set
to the
ON
position
when
connecting
it
to the
MKS-80
or disconnecting,
otherwise the data
in
memory
might be
damaged.
Securely
insert
the
Cartridge to
the Cartridge Holder
®
of the
MKS-
80
with
its
Protect
Switch facing
upward.
* To
prevent accidental
loss
of
the
data, set
the
Protect
Switch to
the
ON
position
except
for
when
writing
new
data.
