• If your external effects unit can only accept a mono
input, connect the
L AUX OUTPUT
of the 788 to
the input.
• The MIDI connections described here do not have
to be direct connections—your sequencer will need
to accept data from the instrument chain and to
pass data to them. However, you should make sure
that MTC (MIDI Timecode) can be sent from the
788 to the sequencer, and MIDI Machine Control
commands can be received by the 788 from the
sequencer, even if this means routing the MIDI sig-
nals through some MIDI THRU ports.
• If you are connecting an electric guitar (or bass
guitar) directly into the 788, use
INPUT D
and set
the switch to
GUITAR
—this allows the matching of
the input impedance to the high impedance of an
electric guitar.
