Controlling an External MIDI Device

Controlling an External MIDI Device
This unit's knob operations and keyboard performance can be
transmitted as MIDI messages from the MIDI OUT connector and
from USB MIDI OUT.
By setting a specific zone to "EXT", you can use that zone for
controlling an external MIDI device.
1 .
Make the ZONE SELECT button go dark, and then
press the ZONE SELECT [1]–[8] buttons corresponding
to the zone you want to output via MIDI.
To select zones 9–16, use the [ZONE 1-8/9-16] button to
switch groups, and then press a ZONE SELECT [1]–[8] button.
2 .
Press the ZONE INT/EXT button of the selected
zone to make it light green.
If it's not green, hold down the [SHIFT] button and press the
corresponding ZONE INT/EXT button to make it light green
(EXT setting).
If it is lit green (EXT setting), MIDI messages are output.
If the ZONE INT/EXT buttons of multiple zones are lit, these
settings in conjunction with the zones specified by the ZONE
SELECT button (current zone) determine whether MIDI is
output to an external sound module (p. 35).

Control to "Advanced".
