rhythm machine etc. that supports MIDI Clock,
MTC, or MMC.

The SCSI connector allows recording/playback or
data backup on an external hard disk or removable
disk etc.

tally recorded from an external digital device such
as a CD or MD, or a song you create to be mixed
down to DAT or MD via direct digital output.
The AUX OUT jack allows an external effect to be
connected.

ily carried into the studio or anywhere else.
