Connecting External MIDI Equipment
You can connect an external MIDI device using a MIDI cable (available separately) and control it from
this synthesizer. You can also use an external MIDI keyboard or sequencer to control the
synthesizer’s internal sounds. This section introduces several different applications of MIDI.
The HOST SELECT switch on the rear panel should be set to “MIDI.” Otherwise, MIDI information will not be
transmitted from the synthesizer’s MIDI OUT connector.
Controlling from an External MIDI Keyboard
The CS6R has no built-in keyboard so the above MIDI connection lets you play it in realtime.
