Using an External MIDI
Keyboard in Place of the
Keyboard Pads
(Remote Keyboard Switch)
An external MIDI keyboard can be used instead of the
MC-505Õs keyboard pads.
Range: OFF, ON
The factory default settings call for this to be ÒON,Ó so
regardless of the transmit channel setting of the external
MIDI keyboard, it will play the patch of the current part.
If you wish to use the MC-505 as a 8-part multitimbral
sound generator controlled by an external sequencer,
turn this ÒOFF.Ó This will allow MIDI messages trans-
mitted from the external sequencer to play patches
independently for each channel (part).
You should also turn this setting ÒOFFÓ 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.

Differentiating Between Units of
the Identical Model
(Device ID Number)
This parameter sets the Device ID Number.
MIDI devices have an identifying number called the
Model ID, which is different for each model of device.
When system exclusive messages are transmitted and
received, this number is used to distinguish between
different models. However, when two or more devices
of the identical model need to receive and transmit
system exclusive data independently, the Model ID by
itself is not a sufficient distinction. For this reason, the
Device ID Number is used to distinguish between two
or more MC-505 units.
Range: 17Ð32
With the factory settings the Device ID Number is set
at Ò17.Ó If you are using only one MC-505, there is no
need to change this setting.
Re-Transmitting Messages
Received at MIDI IN from MIDI
OUT (Thru Function)
When this function is ÒON,Ó MIDI messages received
at the MIDI IN connector will be re-transmitted from
MIDI OUT without change.
