With the above MIDI connections, you can send MIDI
data from the S03's MIDI OUT terminal, while
sending MIDI data from the external sequencer to an
external MIDI synthesizer via the S03's MIDI THRU
terminal.
n The MIDI cable should be no greater than 15 meters in
length, and there should be no more than three devices in
a MIDI chain (chained in series via each unit's MIDI
THRU). To connect more units, use a MIDI Thru Box
for parallel connections. You may encounter errors if the
MIDI cables are too long or if too many devices are
chained together via their MIDI THRU connectors.

Connecting to a Personal
Computer
You can use a connected computer to control the S03
and to transfer S03 data to/from computer via MIDI.
There are two ways to connect your S03 to a computer:
1: Serial connection (the computer's serial port to
the S03's TO HOST terminal)
2: MIDI connection (the computer's MIDI
interface or external MIDI interface to the
S03's MIDI IN and OUT)
Depending on your particular computer, the
connections may differ. (See below.)
n You may also want to change the Local On/Off setting
(page 93), depending on how you are using the S03 in
your MIDI system.
