Connecting External MIDI
Components
There are many different types of MIDI components available
which you could connect directly to the CS2x using MIDI cables
to take advantage of the CS2x’s multitimbral features and greatly
expand your music production capabilities. Following is an
example of how to connect an external sequencer and additional
tone generator to build up a comprehensive music production
system.
1. Set the CS2x’s rear panel HOST SELECT switch to MIDI.
2. Connect a MIDI cable from the CS2x’s MIDI OUT terminal
to the sequencer’s MIDI IN terminal. Connect another MIDI
cable from the CS2x’s MIDI IN terminal to the sequencer’s
MIDI OUT terminal.
3. Connect a MIDI cable from the CS2x’s MIDI THRU terminal
to the tone generator’s MIDI IN terminal
In this monster system, the CS2x is the “master keyboard
controller” used for music note and control data input into the
QY700’s MIDI channel tracks. The QY700 sends the recorded
data directly to the CS2x’s Parts, and — via the MIDI THRU
terminal — to the external tone generator’s Parts.
n When recording Parts to an external sequencer, you need to
turn the keyboard Local setting to OFF (page 63). For details
about assigning CS2x MIDI transmit and receive channels,
see page 63. For details about assigning MIDI channels and
other settings for the external devices, consult the owner’s
manual of each.
