The Thru function of the computer software

In order for data received at MIDI IN 1 to be sent to the sound generator section, the

Thru function of the computer software must be turned on. When Thru function is

turned on, the data received at MIDI IN 1 will pass through the computer and be

played by the sound generator section.

may be due to a variety of reasons. A flow chart has been provided to help you de-

termine the problem. In the Appendices, please refer to No sound (p. 140).
