Jack Panel
* When the RG-3M is connected to a MIDI sequencer, set it to
Local OFF. Refer to "Disconnecting the Internal Sound
Generator and Keyboard (Local Control)" (p. 107).
In addition, turn the MIDI sequencer's Thru function ON.
The sequencer takes the performance data received at the MIDI
IN connector and outputs the data unchanged from the MIDI
OUT connector.
To determine whether or not your sequencer features a MIDI
Thru function and for instructions on making the Thru
function setting, refer to the owner's manual for your
sequencer.

Making MIDI-related Settings
Here's how you can set the transmit channel and other MIDI
related settings.
■ MIDI Transmit Channel Settings
MIDI features sixteen MIDI channels, numbered 1–16.
Simply connecting a cable is not enough for communication
to take place. The connected devices must be set to use the
same MIDI channels. Otherwise, no sound will be produced,
and no sounds can be selected.
The RG-3M receives all channels 1–16.
