First steps

MIDI connections
In order to use the MR-200's full potential, you
need to connect its MIDI sockets as follows:
MR-200
External module*
A MIDI OUT socket only sends data, while
a MIDI IN socket only receives them. Never
connect a MIDI IN socket to a MIDI IN
port (or a MIDI OUT socket to a MIDI
OUT port), because that does not work.
Rodgers series organ
(*) This could be a Rodgers
MX-200 module, a Roland JV/
XV-series module, or a sound
module by another manufac-
turer.
Optional metronome connection
The MR-200 contains a metronome that indi-
cates the time signature and tempo. Press the
[METRONOME] button to switch it on. If you
have difficulty hearing it, set the [LEVEL] knob
(rear panel) to the desired value. You can also
connect headphones to the PHONES socket,
but then you will only hear the metronome
(not the music).
If the metronome is still difficult to hear, how-
ever, you can connect the METRONOME
PHONES socket to the AUX INPUTS L
(MONO) socket of your Rodgers organ. This
requires the use of an optional guitar cable (1/
4" jack
1/4" jack).
Before doing so, be sure to read the note in the gray box
on page 6.
You could also connect it to the input of an
external amplifier, but then you would not hear
the metronome if you worked with headphones
connected to your organ.
MR-200
After switching on the MR-200 (see below), set
the METRONOME [LEVEL] knob to the desired
value. You may also have to change the external
instrument's or amplifier's input sensitivity.
