Turn the Function mode setting “Sub Keyboard Function” OFF.

* If “Sub Keyboard Function” is OFF, you can play any desired part of

the organ/ensemble sound generator by setting your MIDI

keyboard to the appropriate MIDI transmit channel (p. 57).

Set the Function mode “Sub Keyboard Function” to Upper (to play

the upper part) or Lower (to play the lower part).

* If “Sub Keyboard Function” (p. 57) is set to Upper (or Lower), MIDI

messages received at the MIDI IN connector will automatically be

converted to the MIDI channel specified for “Upper Organ MIDI

Channel” (or “Lower Organ MIDI Channel”). The routing will be the

same as for the MIDI PEDAL IN connector (p. 65).

You can use a MIDI cable (sold separately) to connect a MIDI

sequencer to the VR-700; the sequencer can record your

performance on the VR-700, and the VR-700 can sound the playback

from the sequencer.

If your external MIDI sequencer’s MIDI Thru function is enabled,

change the following Function mode parameters as follows.

• Set “Local Control” to OFF (it will be ON when the power is turned

on)

• Set “MIDI Thru Switch” to OFF (factory setting is ON)

* The “Local Control” setting is not remembered by the VR-700. It will

be ON when you turn on the power.

* If “Sub Keyboard Function” (p. 57) is set to Upper (or Lower), MIDI

messages received at the MIDI IN connector will automatically be

converted to the MIDI channel specified by “Upper Organ MIDI

Channel” (or “Lower Organ MIDI Channel”). The routing will be the

same as for the MIDI PEDAL IN connector (p. 65).
