Using with an External MIDI

Device

Recording performance on an external

MIDI keyboard in the MC-307

This is the set-up operation for recording performance on an

external MIDI keyboard in the MC-307.

Set the remote keyboard switch to “ON.” (With the factory

settings, this will be “ON.”)

For the set-up procedure, refer to Using an external MIDI

keyboard in place of the keyboard pads (REMOTE

KEYBOARD) (p. 123).

This setting enables the part selected on the MC-307 to be

used as the recording part (regardless of the transmission

channel of the external MIDI keyboard).

Playing the MC-307 as the sound

generator for an external MIDI

sequencer

Set the remote keyboard switch to “OFF.” This setting

enables the MC-307 to receive and simultaneously play back

data from multiple MIDI channels.

Set the transmit channel of the external MIDI keyboard to

match the receive channel of the MC-307 that you wish to

play. For example, if you wish to play part 2, set the transmit

channel of the external MIDI keyboard to “2” since the

receive channel of part 2 is “2.”

- refer to Using an external MIDI keyboard in place of the

keyboard pads (REMOTE KEYBOARD) (p. 123).

Selecting patches from an external MIDI

device

By transmitting control change Bank Select messages (CC#0,

CC#32) and Program Change messages (PC) from an external

MIDI device to the MC-307, you can change the patch

(rhythm set) of each part. At this time, the Receive Program

Change Switch and the Receive Bank Select Switch must be

turned ON (refer to Reception settings for each type of MIDI

message (p. 126).). For details on how bank select and

program change messages are transmitted from your

external MIDI device, refer to the owner’s manual for your

device.

If you would like to know how the incoming bank select and

program change messages correspond to each patch (rhythm

set), refer to:

- “Preset Patch List” (P. 155)

- “Preset Rhythm Set List” (P. 159)

- “MIDI Implementation” (P. 194)

Playing back RPS on the MC-307 using

an external MIDI keyboard

This setting enables the MC-307 to play back RPS upon

reception of note messages from a particular MIDI channel.

Channels can be efficiently used by specifying a channel

other than channels for parts transmission and reception.

Procedure

1. Set the MC-307’s remote keyboard switch to “OFF” (refer

to Using an external MIDI keyboard in place of the

keyboard pads (REMOTE KEYBOARD) (p. 123).).

2. Match the MC-307’s RPS control channel to the

transmission channel of the external MIDI keyboard (P.

124).

3. Press [RPS] button to turn on the indicator.

4. Pressing keys on the external MIDI keyboard plays back

RPS.

The notes B1–D3 will play the RPS for keyboard pads

[1]–[16] respectively.
