SIMPLE RECORDING EXAMPLE
To give you a general idea of how to use the OX5, we will show you how to record in real time.

Connect the QX5 to your keyboard and tone generator as shown on p. 2. If you
are using the OX5 with a single MIDI synthesizer, connect the synthesizer MIDI
OUT to QX5 MIDI IN, and QX5 MIDI OUT to the synthesizer MIDI IN.
Recording on the QX5 is usually very simple; just press [RECORD] and then
START]. But in order to make this example absolutely foolproof, we will make
sure all settings are correct. We will give detailed explanations of each function
later.
For us to record, memory protect must be off. Double-click the [TEMPO] switch
(quickly press it twice). Press three times to get the Memory Protect display, a

We need to hear ourselves play, so we will set the QX5 to transmit all messages
received at MIDI IN directly from MIDI OUT. (This is called Echo Back.) Dou-

We want to record MIDI messages coming in on channel 1, and play them back
on the same channel. Check to make sure that your keyboard is transmitting on —
channel 1 and that your tone generator is receiving channel 1 (see the owner's
manual for each device).
Double-click the |TRACK] switch. The display will show "INPUT ASSIGN", with
a blinking cursor at the lower far left. The number at the cursor should be "1". If
not, use <I or & to change it to "1".
