Controlling X50’s tone generator
from an external MIDI device
When you wish to play or control the X50’s tone
generator from an external MIDI keyboard or
sequencer etc., use a MIDI cable to connect the
MIDI OUT connector of the external MIDI device
to the MIDI IN connector of X50.

You can also use a MIDI patch bay to control mul-
tiple MIDI devices.

connect the sequencer’s MIDI OUT connector
to the X50’s MIDI IN connector.
