Using the RD-300GX As a Master Keyboard

To switch the tones of an external MIDI device, the program number and the MSB/LSB
of the Bank Select message are entered as numerical values on the RD-300GX.

Press the [EXTERNAL/INTERNAL] button so the “EXTERNAL” indicator is lit.

The External screen appears.
If the following screen doesn’t appear, hold down the [EXIT/SHIFT] button and press the [DEC]
button several times.

Press the ZONE SELECT button so the indicator of the button for the Zone you
wish to select is lit.

While continuing to hold down the [EXIT/SHIFT] button, use the [DEC] [INC]
buttons to move the cursor, and use the [DEC] [INC] buttons to set the MSB, LSB,
and PC for each Zone.

Pressing the [DEC] [INC] buttons simultaneously switches the settings value to “- - - (OFF).”
When this setting is “- - - (OFF),” bank select messages will not be transmitted.

If the external MIDI sound generator receives a Program number or a Bank number
for which no Tone has been assigned, an alternate Tone may be selected, or in some
cases, there may be no sound played. If you do not want to transmit the Program
number or Bank Select, use the procedure described above to set the PC/MSB/LSB to
“- - - (OFF).”
If this is set to “- - -,” the sound selection data will not be transmitted when you switch
Setups.
