1. Connect the module's USB port to your computer with
a standard USB cable. (Alternatively, you could connect
the MIDI OUT of the RBM-20 to the MIDI IN of a
MIDI interface connected to your computer, but we recommend
using your computer's USB connection if it is available.)
2. Press UTILITIES to access the module's UTILITIES Menu.
3. Press MIDI (F2) to access the MIDI settings.
4. Press OUT (F3) to access the MIDI output settings.
5. Use CURSOR UP / DOWN to move through the menu
items and DEC- / INC+ or the VALUE / TEMPO DIAL to
adjust the settings accordingly:
a. Prog Chng: "SENT" (so the RBM-20 can send
Program Change messages to the software).
b. Clock Out: "SENT" (if you want the RBM-20's MIDI
clock to the be the "master" clock) or "NOT SENT" (if
you do not want the RBM-20 to send out MIDI clock information).
c. MIDI Thru: "OFF."
6. Set your software to receive MIDI messages from the RBM-20 module
("USB Audio Device"). Consult your software's manual for more information.
