Using a Connected Computer
Creating a Song with a computer
By using the MODX+ with DAW software on a computer
connected to the MODX+, you can take advantage of the
following functions and applications.
• MIDI recording and audio recording of your MODX+
performance to the DAW software.
• Playing back a song from the DAW software by using the
MODX+ tone generator.
This section contains an overview on how to use DAW
software on the computer with the MODX+ after connecting
(page 55).
Recording your performance on the
MODX+ to computer as MIDI data (no
Arpeggio playback recorded)

Setting up the MODX+

Utility display.
2 Touch [Settings] tab  [Quick Setup] tab at
the left side of the display to call up the Quick

Setting up the DAW software
1 Set MIDI Thru to “on” on the DAW software.
By setting MIDI Thru to “on,” the MIDI data generated by
playing the keyboard and transmitted to the computer
will be returned back to the MODX+. As shown in the
example below, the MIDI data transmitted from the
MODX+ then recorded to the computer via MIDI channel
1 will be returned back from the computer to the MODX+
via MIDI channel 3 according to the setting of the
recording Track. As a result, the tone generator of the
MODX+ will sound the MIDI data generated by playing
the keyboard as MIDI data from channel 3.
