The KR-370 is equipped with MIDI connectors and a Computer jack to let it exchange per-
formance information with external devices. These jacks can be used to connect the KR-370
to an external device for even greater versatility.
To prevent malfunction and/or damage to speakers or other devices, always turn down
the volume, and turn off the power on all devices before making any connections.
Connecting the KR-370 to a MIDI Instrument
The KR-370 has two MIDI connectors, labeled MIDI In and MIDI Out. Connecting these to
the MIDI connectors on a MIDI instrument makes it possible for the two instruments to
control each other. For instance, you can output sound from the other instrument or switch
Tones on the other instrument.
How to Make the Connection with a MIDI Instrument
Set the Computer switch on the back of the KR-370 to "MIDI." Use MIDI cables to connect
the MIDI connectors on the MIDI instrument and the KR-370.
* Be sure that the power to the KR-370 is switched off before you change the setting of the
Computer switch.
