The Arranger
One
of
the
most
interesting
aspect
of
MIDI,
is
that
you
can
use
your
microARRANGER
to
play
an
external
instrument
with
its
onboard
arranger.
Yes,
it’s
hard
to
beat
the
audio
quality
of
microARRANGER,
but
you
could
wish
to
use
that
old
faithful
synth
you
are
still
accustomed
to…
To
assign
some
of

tracks
to
an
external
instrument,
set
them
to
the
External

(see
