From the MIDI OUT 1 and
2 connectors, MIDI
messages are sent to the
connected devices. Set the
tracks output port to MIDI
OUT in your sequencing
software, and the messages
will be output from MIDI
OUT and the SC-8850 itself
will not play. This makes it
easy to use the SC-8850 in
combination with other
sound modules. (You
cannot set any one tracks
data to be output simulta-
neously to both the SC-8850
and MIDI OUT, however.)
