Setting up the PC-300

The PC-300 is a MIDI controller. It contains no sound-generating circuitry of its own, but
it can effectively control external units (sound module, computer, etc.) by transmitting a
wide variety of MIDI messages.
To ensure maximum benefit from your system, be sure to read this manual and the manu-
als for the external equipment you are using.
Controlling other MIDI devices
1. Connect the PC-300's MIDI OUT port to the MIDI IN connector on the sound module
you wish to control.

When connecting your computer with a sound module via a serial connection, use only a
serial cable which is designed for the model of computer you are using and its particular
kind of connector.
If the sound module has a COMPUTER/TO HOST switch, be sure to set it to the appropri-
ate position. This will vary depending on the type of computer, the way you are connecting
it, and the requirements of the software you are using.
