MODX Owner’s Manual
54
With a standard MIDI cable (commercially available), you can connect an external MIDI instrument, and control it from the
MODX. Likewise, you can use an external MIDI device (such as a keyboard or sequencer) to control the sounds on the MODX.
Below are several different MIDI connection examples; use the one most similar to your intended setup.
NOTE
Either of the built-in interfaces, the MIDI terminals, or the [USB TO HOST] terminal, can be used for MIDI data transmission/reception; however,
they cannot be used at the same time. Select which terminal is to be used for MIDI data transfer by pressing the [UTILITY] button [Settings]
tab [MIDI I/O] tab. As you work through the explanations in this chapter, set “MIDI IN/OUT” to “MIDI” since MIDI is used as the example
connection here.
Controlling the MODX from an
external MIDI keyboard or
synthesizer
Use an external keyboard or synthesizer to remotely select
and play the Performances of the MODX.
Controlling an external MIDI
keyboard or synthesizer from the
MODX
This connection lets you sound an external MIDI tone
generator (synthesizer, tone generator module, etc.) by
playing the MODX or playing back Songs from the MODX.
Use this connection when you wish to sound the other
instrument as well as the MODX.
Connecting External MIDI Instruments
MIDI Transmit and Receive Channels
Make sure to match the MIDI Transmit Channel of the
external MIDI instrument with the MIDI Receive Channel of
the MODX. For details on setting the MIDI Transmit
Channel of the external MIDI instrument, refer to the
owner’s manual of that instrument. When the MIDI I/O
mode is set to “multi,” each MIDI Receive Channel number
of the MODX corresponds to an individual Part number,
such as Channel 1 for Part 1, Channel 2 for Part 2, and so
on. When the MIDI I/O is set to “single,” a single channel is
used for receiving all Parts.

Splitting the sound between the MODX and
an external tone generator by MIDI channel
Using the connection example shown above, you can play
both instruments and have them separately sound different
parts—for example, having your keyboard performance
sound the external instrument while the Song plays the
sounds of the MODX. To use this feature, you must set the
MODX’s transmit channel and the external tone generator’s
receive channel to the same channel number. Each MIDI
transmit channel number of the MODX corresponds to
each Part number such as Channel 1 for Part 1 or Channel
2 for Part 2. However, you can choose the desired transmit
channel by the following steps.
Press [UTILITY] [Settings] [Advanced], then set
“Zone Master” to “ON.” For editing the Part, touch [Part
Settings] [Zone Settings] to call up the Zone setting
display. Check the MIDI transmit channel in “Zone
Transmit,” then change this parameter, if necessary. When
you wish to sound only the external tone generator, set the
master volume of the MODX down or set “Local Control” to
“off” with the following operation: [UTILITY] [Settings]
[MIDI I/O] to call up the MIDI setting display, then set
“Local Control” to “off.” For information on how to set the
MIDI Receive Channel of the external MIDI instrument,
refer to the owner’s manual of that particular MIDI
instrument.
