• If your external effects unit can only accept a mono

input, connect the

L AUX OUTPUT

of the 788 to

the input.

• The MIDI connections described here do not have

to be direct connections—your sequencer will need
to accept data from the instrument chain and to
pass data to them. However, you should make sure
that MTC (MIDI Timecode) can be sent from the
788 to the sequencer, and MIDI Machine Control

commands can be received by the 788 from the
sequencer, even if this means routing the MIDI sig-
nals through some MIDI THRU ports.

• If you are connecting an electric guitar (or bass

guitar) directly into the 788, use

INPUT D

and set

the switch to

GUITAR

—this allows the matching of

the input impedance to the high impedance of an
electric guitar.
