MIDI IN
• To record Songs on external computers or
sequencers, connect the PS1500 MIDI IN to
the MIDI OUT of the external device, the
PS1500 MIDI OUT to the MIDI IN of the exter-
nal device. This configuration is called a
“closed MIDI loop”.

Set PS1500 to Song mode and set a track for
Local Off operation (in «Edit MIDI») in order to
send PS1500 keyboard data to its own inter-
nal sound engine via the external computer/
sequencer.
INPUT
Right/M, Left + Volume
Right - Left Stereo inputs for the connection of
external audio sources (a musical instrument,
cassette recorder or CD player, etc.) which can
play through the PS1500 internal amplification
system. For stereo connections use both LEFT
and RIGHT/MONO jacks. For mono connections
use only the RIGHT/MONO jack.
The small VOLUME knob controls the level of
the signal fed into the INPUT jacks. The signal
received at these jacks is fed to the instrument’s
main mix and delivered by the internal speakers
as well as the LEFT-RIGHT/M outputs. The in-
put signals are not, however, processed by the
internal effects processor.
COMPUTER
It is possible to connect PS1500 directly to a com-
puter via the COMPUTER port.
This connection is alternative to MIDI; both types
of communication are not simultaneously permit-
ted.
Macintosh and compatibles. Use a standard
serial cable DB8-DB8 or the Baldwin serial cable
(optional). Program the sequencer to communi-
cate with PS1500 at the velocity of [1 MHz].
PC IBM and compatibles. Use the Baldwin se-
rial cable (optional). Select the appropriate com-
munication velocity in PS1500 to communicate
with the PC («Edit General»).
