Using the SD-50 as a MIDI Interface

You can connect a MIDI keyboard to the SD-50 and use it as a MIDI interface for your computer.

This lets you create song data by playing your MIDI keyboard. For details on how to make the necessary settings, refer
to the user’s guide for the software you’re using.

If the SD-50 is not connected to a computer, you can use your MIDI keyboard to play the SD-50’s sound generator.
