Tone arrangement is based on GS/GM. In case your external
MIDI sound module is not based on GS or GM, you will need
to make settings on your external MIDI sound module to
change the sounds that correspond to each note number. For
details on making these settings, refer to the manual of your
MIDI sound module.
* If you are using an external MIDI sound module to play the
rhythm guide, use the controls of the external MIDI sound
module to adjust the volume level.
Synchronizing playback with
a MIDI sequencer
The BR-864 can operate in synchronization with a MIDI
sequencer.
When synchronizing with a MIDI sequencer, it is possible to
synchronize the MIDI sequencer using the BR-864 (i.e., with
the BR-864 as the master), but it is not possible to
synchronize the BR-864 with the MIDI sequencer (i.e., with
the BR-864 as the slave).
* For details on operation of your MIDI sequencer, refer to the
operating manual for your device. For information regarding
MMC, see p. 144.
