For details on operation of
your MIDI sequencer, refer to
the operating manual for your
device.
Master and slave
When the CDX-1 plays in synchronization with a MIDI sequencer, the device that
transmits the time data is called the master. The device that receives the time data
transmitted by the reference device (master) and follows this data is called the slave.
When playing in synchronization with a MIDI sequencer, the CDX-1 can be
used as the master (transmitting) device, but not as the slave (receiving)
device. Also, the MIDI sequencer must be set as the slave (receiving) device.
