Using an external MIDI keyboard in
place of the keyboard pads
(REMOTE KEYBOARD)
An external MIDI keyboard can be used instead of the MC-
307’s keyboard pads.
Procedure
1. Press the [SYSTEM] button, then the [F1 (SYS)] button.
The selection screen for system settings appears.
2. Press the [CURSOR (up)] button to access the screen for
items 1–4.
3. Press the [F4 (MIDI)] button.
4. Press [F1 (CMN)] button.
If the following screen is not displayed, use [F4 ( )] to
make it appear.
5. Use the [CURSOR (up/down)] buttons to move the
cursor to “REMOTE KEYBOARD.”
6. Specify a value using the [VALUE] dial or the [INC/
DEC] buttons.
Range: OFF, ON
This parameter is set to “ON” with the factory settings,
enabling patches in the part selected on the MC-307 to be
played back regardless of the transmission channels of
the external MIDI keyboard.
Set it to “OFF” to control the MC-307 from an external
sequencer, as a multi-timbre sound generator with eight
parts. Patches can be played back by part, according to
the channel used for sending MIDI data from the
external sequencer.
You should also turn this setting “OFF” if you want Note
messages that are received on the specified Arpeggio
Control Channel or the RPS Control Channel to control
arpeggios or RPS from an external device.
- “Specifying the Channel That Will Control Arpeggios,
refer to Specifying the channel that will control
arpeggios (ARPEGGIO CTRL CH) (p. 124).
- “Specifying the Channel That Will Control RPS, refer to
Specifying the channel that will control RPS (RPS CTRL
CH) (p. 124).
