Using the PCR-A30 as a MIDI keyboard
fig.connect-out1
If you want to use the PCR-A30 as a MIDI keyboard, don’t connect the USB cable. While you
have a USB cable connected, MIDI messages won’t be transmitted from the PCR-A30’s MIDI
OUT connector when you play its keyboard (see
“MIDI flow” (p. 37)).
(If you want to use the PCR-A30 as a MIDI keyboard with the USB cable connected, you’ll
need to make settings on your computer so that the MIDI messages are “soft thru-ed.”)
Use the following procedure when you want to play a MIDI sound module connected to the
PCR-A30.
1
Set the MIDI channel the PCR-A30 will use to transmit to the same channel on the module is
using to receive on.
Use MIDI Channel mode to set the MIDI transmit channel.
(
➔
“MIDI Channel mode (MIDI CH)” (p. 46)).
2
Select a sound on your MIDI sound module.
(
➔
“Selecting Sounds on a Sound Module (Sending Program Change / Bank Select
Massages)” (p. 48)).
3
Once you have finished making settings, try playing the keyboard in “PLAY mode” (p. 44).
When you play the keyboard in PLAY mode, MIDI messages are sent to the MIDI sound
module you have connected, causing it to produce sound.
* Since the PCR-A30 does not contain a sound generator, you cannot play MIDI data using the PCR-A30
alone.
