Using the internal 
sound generator
Specifying the function of the MIDI connectors
If the 
MIDI OUT/THRU switch
 on the rear panel is set to 
[IN1 THRU]
, MIDI messages received at the 
MIDI 
IN 1
 connector will be retransmitted without change from the 
MIDI OUT 2
 connector.
If the SD-80 is operating in 
USB mode
 and this switch is set to 
[IN1 THRU]
, MIDI messages received at 
the 
MIDI IN 1
 connector will be "thru-ed" from the 
MIDI OUT 2
 connector. The MIDI messages that would 
normally be output from the computer to the MIDI OUT 1 connector will no longer be output. (They will 
not be merged.) In this case, it will not be possible to use USB external output 2 (EDIROL SD-80 MIDI 
OUT 2) from the computer.
However, if the SD-80 is operating in 
MIDI mode
 and this switch is set to 
[IN1 THRU]
, MIDI messages 
received at the 
MIDI IN 1
 connector will be "thru-ed" from the 
MIDI OUT 1
 connector as well as being sent 
to 
PART A
. In this case, if an external MIDI device sends a dump request to 
PART B
, it will not be 
possible to transmit the response.
