About MIDI patchers

When multiple external MIDI devices are connected in

a Òdaisy-chain,Ó there is a tendency for the signal to

become corrupted and for transmission errors to occur

as the signal is made to travel a greater distance. If you

need to connect three or more devices, we recommend

that you use a MIDI patcher (A-880: optional).

Synchronizing an External

Sequencer

By synchronizing an external MIDI sequencer to the

MIDI Clock messages that are transmitted from the

MC-505, you can synchronize the external sequencer

to the MC-505.

The following example shows how an external MIDI

sequencer can be synchronized with the MC-505Õs pat-

tern playback. (The external MIDI sound generator

will be played by MIDI messages from the external

MIDI sequencer.)

MC-505Õs sequencer and the external

MIDI sequencer will begin playback simul-

taneously.
