Master Class 1 - Onstage; Sync The Dx200 To Your Sequencer - Yamaha Loopfactory DX200 Owner's Manual

Chapter 18
80
The sophisticated sync features of the DX200 let you lock it in step with the rhythm of just about any other
MIDI device, such as a computer, rhythm machine or external sequencer. No drift, no glitching, no slipping
out of sync — the two machines stay perfectly in the same groove.
This is great for live situations. For example, you could use a computer or sequencer for your main tracks
and fly in some DX200 Patterns as you perform — while everything stays in perfect sync.
In this application, the sequencer is the "master," or controlling device, and the DX200 is the "slave."
1 Set up the DX200 and the sequencer.
Connect the two as shown with a standard MIDI cable.
