Using the internal sound generator
■ MIDI mode
fig.7-3
The MIDI messages received at the MIDI IN
connectors will be passed directly to the internal
sound generator.
The SD-80 has two MIDI IN connectors, and each
MIDI IN connector can receive data for 16 Parts. In
MIDI mode, when you play using the MIDI
connectors, group A corresponds to the MIDI IN 1
connector and group B corresponds to the MIDI IN 2
connector. In other words, the MIDI messages
received at MIDI IN 1 will play Parts 01–16 of group
A, and the MIDI messages received at MIDI IN 2 will
play Parts 01–16 of group B. For example, a MIDI
message received at MIDI IN 1 on channel 5 will play
Group A Part 5 (A05) (when still set to the default
settings).
* If you want to change the correspondence of Parts to MIDI
channels, you can send the System Exclusive message
Rx.CHANNEL via MIDI.
* The MIDI indicator will light.
* If you want to use the SD-80 in MIDI mode, disconnect the
USB cable from the SD-80's USB connector.
