Connecting the SY-300 with an External MIDI Device
On the SY-300, you can use MIDI to perform the following
operations.
Operations from the SY-300
Operation
Explanation
Transmit program
change messages
When you select a patch on the SY-300, a program change
message corresponding to the patch number you select
is transmitted. The external MIDI device that receives this
program change message will switch to the corresponding
settings.
Transmit control change
messages
Operations of a [CTL] switches, or a footswitch or expression
pedal connected to the EXP/CTL 4, 5 jack, are transmitted
as control change messages. These messages can control
parameters on an external MIDI device.
Operations from an External MIDI Device
Operation
Explanation
Switch patch numbers
