Give MIDI a Try
With MIDI, you can use the keyboard of the EM-305/303 to play an external MIDI
device, or make recordings on a MIDI sequencer.
This section describes a few
examples of simple MIDI operations.
Playing an External MIDI Device
You can play an external MIDI device (such as a synthesizer) using the keyboard of
the EM-305/303.
Use a MIDI cable to connect the MIDI OUT connector on the EM-305/
303 to the MIDI IN connector on the other MIDI device.
Set the receive channe! on the other MIDI device to channel 4.
* Refer to the manual for the MIDI device for an explanation of how to set the receive
channel.

can play the MIDI device using the upper keyboard section of the EM-305/303. You
can also change the tone of the MIDI device by switching the tone on the EM-305/
303.
* When you use the connections and settings just described, the tone of the upper
section and the MIDI device are both played.
Make Recordings with a MIDI Sequencer
You can make recordings of your EM-305/303 performances on a MIDI sequencer.

* You can store the performance you recorded with the MIDI sequencer on a floppy
disk for playback at any time.
* When playing back your performance on the MIDI sequencer, use a MIDI cable to
connect the MIDI OUT
connector on the sequencer to the MIDI IN connector on
the EM-305/303.
* You can make recording with the MIDI sequencer while synchronizing the music
style of the EM-305/303.
Check out the manual for the MIDI sequencer for more
information.
* In preparation for playback of recorded data, setup your sequencer so that only
Channel Messages are transmitted. (Refer to your sequencer manual.)
(If your sequencer transmits start/stop and /or MIDI clock messages to your EM-
305/303, problems with playback will occur.)
