Use MIDI Functionality
You can transmit messages from the A-500S to an external MIDI sound module in order to control it.
Use “UTILITY mode” (p. 28) to transmit these messages to an external MIDI sound module.
Here’s how to set the voice mode of your connected MIDI sound module to Poly mode.
Poly mode allows you to play multiple notes (chords) simultaneously.
