Thru Port Setting
TIP
MIDI ports can be used to divide playback among multiple synthesizers, as well as expand the MIDI channel capacity
beyond sixteen.
In the example below, a separate synthesizer connected to the MO is played by MIDI data via port 5, as set in the
ThruPort parameter with the following operation.
[UTILITY] [F5] MIDI
Only MIDI data over port 5
will be transmitted through
the MO to this tone
generator.
Precautions when using the USB TO HOST connector
When connecting the computer to the USB TO HOST connector, make sure to observe the following points.
Failing to do so risks freezing the computer and corrupting or even losing the data. If the computer or the instrument freezes, turn the
power to the instrument off or restart the computer.
CAUTION
• Before connecting the computer to the USB TO HOST connector, exit from any power-saving mode (such as suspended, sleep, standby) of the
computer.
• Before turning on the power to the instrument, connect the computer to the USB TO HOST connector.
• Execute the following before turning the power to the instrument on/off or plugging/unplugging the USB cable to/from the USB TO HOST
connector.
- Quit any open applications (such as Voice Editor, Multi Part Editor, and sequencer software).
- Make sure that data is not being transmitted from the instrument. (Data is transmitted only by playing notes on the keyboard or playing back
a Song.)
• While a USB device is connected to the instrument, you should wait for six seconds or more between these operations: (1) when turning the
power of the instrument off then on again, or (2) when alternately connecting/disconnecting the USB cable.
Using a MIDI cable
n
Use an appropriate MIDI interface for your computer. If you are using a computer that has a USB port, make sure to connect the computer and the MO
by USB.
