• Connecting the opsix to an external MIDI sequencer, computer or similar device
You might want to play the opsix’s keyboard and record your performance on an external MIDI
sequencer or computer (connected using the MIDI interface), and then play the opsix while
monitoring or playing back what you recorded. You also might want to use the opsix as both an
input device for playing notes and as a MIDI tone generator. In either case, you’ll need to connect
the MIDI OUT jacks to the MIDI IN jacks on both the opsix and the external MIDI sequencer or
computer.
Some MIDI interface devices may be unable to transmit or receive MIDI system
exclusive messages to or from the opsix.
Tip:
It’s convenient to use the USB jack when connecting the opsix to a personal computer.
