Recording an external MIDI device’s
performance on the DR-880
Your performance on an external MIDI
keyboard or MIDI pads can be recorded on the

external device, set the Sync Mode setting to
“AUTO” (p. 128).
• In order for the performance data to be
received correctly, the transmitting and

channel. For details on how to set the MIDI
channel, refer to p. 126.
