Transferring Performance Data to and from a Computer
Connecting to a Computer
By connecting the instrument to a computer, the instrument’s performance data can be used on the computer, and
performance data from the computer can be played on the instrument.
MIDI settings
These settings pertain to performance data transmission
and reception.
If you can’t get any sound out of the instrument, this
may be the most likely cause.
If External Clock is ON and no clock signal is being
received from an external device, the song, style, and
metronome functions will not start.
