Make sure that the power is OFF.
This section will explain how you can (for example) "use
sounds that were sampled on the SP-202 to play the rhythm
part of a GS sound source device."
Channel 10 is normally used for the rhythm part, so you
will
need to set the MIDI channel of the SP-202 to channel 10,
and assign the pads to note numbers which are not used by
the rhythm part of a GS sound source.
The SP-202 provides an easy way to make these settings.
I
Using the SP-202 as a
rhythm sound module
When the SP-202 receives Note messages (note-on, note
number) from an external MIDI device on the matching
MIDI channel, the bank/pad corresponding to the received
note number will light, and the sample assigned to that pad
will play.
*
If the pads do not light and the samples do not play,
check the MIDI channel and the note numbers.

Setting the MIDI channel
By using MIDI, you can play the SP-202 from an external
MIDI device such as a sequencer or keyboard.
Use a MIDI cable to connect the MIDI OUT of the external
MIDI device to the MIDI IN of the SP-202. (Refer to the con-
nection diagram on page 8, 9)
In addition, you will need to set the transmit channel of the
external MIDI device and the receive channel of the SP-202
to the same settings.
• For details on settings for your MIDI device, refer to its
owner's manual.
"MIDI" stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, and
is a world-wide standard for exchanging musical perfor-
mance data and sound data between electronic musical
instruments and devices.
