A number of MIDI settings need to be made when you
connect the instrument to a computer. The PC Mode
item can conveniently make multiple settings for you in
one operation. Three settings are available: PC1, PC2,
and OFF. Press the [PC] button to call up the PC Mode
display, and select PC1 or PC2, as required. The setting
you choose will set parameters such as Local ON/OFF,
External Clock ON/OFF, and others for optimum opera-
tion with a sequencer application on your computer, for
example. Refer to page 72 for details about the MIDI
settings.
