Basic operation of the VariOS

Playing the VariOS from a connected keyboard
(MIDI Mode)

You can connect your MIDI keyboard to the VariOS. In this case, you can change the MIDI routing in
the following ways.

PC mode

When using a USB connection, the MIDI connectors on the rear panel of the VariOS will function as a
USB MIDI interface (Roland VariOS External MIDI). When USB is not connected (and when your
computer is not powered up), the MIDI connectors on the rear panel of the VariOS are connected
directly to the sound generator section.
