bit MIDI MASTER KEYBOARD Owner's Manual page 7

Did
"e say you need never take your fingers off the
keyboard? Quite
right! You can plug a foot pedal into the RUN socket, and use it to
start a sequence stored in the internal sequencer. A pedal linked to
the STOP/CONTINUE socket lets you stop a sequence in 1id-flight, and
restart it fro• the sa•e position later on.
The C"ultl)-Tape Connection
What we have here are t"o sockets that serve several purposes. For
one, you can save and load Patches (settings fro• the HASTER
KEYBOARD's progra~ ae1ory) to and fro• a cassette tape. They are also
used to save and load Sequences (i,e, your personal sy1~honies
co1posed with or stored in the built-in sequencer), Yet another
option: these very sa•e connectors let you synchronize the built-in
sequencer with a multitrack aachine
1
using a FSK-signal. That's what
they ~ean when they say 1ulti-purpose! ·And yes, we'll be telling you
all about these "onderful things a bit later, too, But let's look at a
couple •ore feature5 on the back panel first.

Making sure the BlT NASTER KEYBOARD stays in sync with e~ternal
sequencers or dru• ~achines is easy with ·clock pulses trans•itted via
the SYNC-JN and SYNC-OUT sockets, and avoids such disasters as the
dru~ beat running away fro• the rest of the band! Though technology
hasn't found a way of hooking real live drum•ers into

H.hl
You can't always stop curious people fro• pressing buttons on your
precious hardNare (known as the nose-pressed-on-the-Ferrari-window
syndro•e, or eat your heart out •••

but you can stop the•
froa
creating a
Mess
with your patches and sequences:~hroN the HEMORY
PROTECT switch at the back to the
ON
position, ·and there's no way
anybody can change any of your stored settings! It's always a good
idea to play it safe, and keep the switch in the
ON
position unless
you actually Nant to change or progra• soaething.
NEMORY
PROTECT
doesn't affect cassette interface operation or the loading of data by
aeans of a MIDI dump: patches and/or sequencer •e1ory can be loaded
regardless of the switch's setting.
Hitting th1t perf1ct b••t ••••
The
KETRDNDNE OUT
socket lets you send a signal fro• the integrated
•etrono•e speaker to an external ~mplifier or •ixer, when the sound of
this built in 'pace•aker' goes under in the sy1phony you're creating!
