Sound Check

The next procedure takes you though a simple sound check that you can use to conﬁrm proper connection

of external audio and MIDI devices. The procedure assumes that you are using a MIDI keyboard to control

A5000/A4000 playback.

[Procedure]

1 . Make sure that the A5000/A4000 STEREO OUT jacks are connected to an ampliﬁer or

mixer and that all components are ready for playback. (page 20)

2 . Connect the MIDI OUT connector of your MIDI controller — keyboard, sequencer, etc.

— to the MIDI IN-A connector (MIDI IN on the A4000) of the sampler and ensure that all

components are ready for MIDI control. (page 25)

3 . Turn on the A5000/A40000 and all connected equipment. (page 27)

4 . Set the A5000/A4000 MASTER VOL control to about the center of its range.

5 . Set the ampliﬁer, mixer, or other audio reproduction device’s volume to an appropriate

level.

6 . Set the external MIDI controller’s MIDI transmit channel to 1.

7 . Make sure the sampler’s [PLAY] mode button is lit (press the [PLAY] button if it isn’t).

8 . Press the [F2] function button.
