Connecting the VK-8 to External Devices
Using an External Sequencer 
to Record and Play Back
You can connect a sequencer to the VK-8 and record your 
playing. The sequencer will store your performance on the 
VK-8 as various types of MIDI data. MIDI data that is 
received can be sent from the sequencer back to the VK-8 to 
reproduce your performance.
→ Some sequencers are able to record settings such as the VK-8’s 
presets, OTHER TONES settings, and system settings.
Making preparations for recording
1.
Make sure that the power of the VK-8 and your 
sequencer is turned off.
NOTE
Turn off the power of the VK-8 and the other device before 
making connections. If you connect an external device when the 
power is turned on, damage or malfunctions may occur.
2.
Use commercially-available MIDI cables to connect the 
VK-8 to your sequencer.

• Connect the VK-8’s MIDI OUT connector to the 
sequencer’s MIDI IN connector
• Connect the VK-8’s MIDI KEYBOARD IN or MIDI 
PEDAL IN connector to the sequencer’s MIDI OUT 
connector
3.
Turn on the power of the external sequencer and the 
VK-8.
4.
Turn off the Thru function of your sequencer.
This allows you to listen to the sound while you record.
Turn off Thru function so every note doesn’t get 
sounded twice—once as the result of the performance 
data that directly conveys keyboard information to the 
organ voice or other tone, and a second time by the 
performance data returned via the Thru function of your 
sequencer.
NOTE
For details on setting the Thru function of your sequencer, refer 
to the owner’s manual of your sequencer.
5.
