an external MIDI device to play the DR-3.

MIDI Channels
In order to exchange performance data between
an external MIDI device and the DR-3, the MIDI
channel settings must be the same for both
devices. Performance data can be exchanged
successfully only when the MIDI channels match.
For more on the DR-3’s MIDI channel settings,
refer to “Setting the MIDI Channels” (p. 94).
