 THRU ..., the MIDI signal may become garbled, and data 
errors may occur. In such cases, use a MIDI Patcher. MIDI Patcher are 
devices that allow a single stream of MIDI data to be sent to a large 
number of MIDI devices without causing data errors.

Set the keyboard transmit channel
 
When you have finished connecting the external MIDI device, match 
the keyboard’s Transmit channel and the Receive channel for each of 
the external MIDI sound generator’s Parts. Here we will explain the 
settings for using the RS-70 in Patch mode.
 
* If you are using the RS-70 in Pattern mode, the part and channel 
numbers will be the same unless you change the settings.

With the above settings, when the RS-70’s keyboard is played, 
sounds are simultaneously played by the RS-70 and the external 
MIDI sound generator.
For instructions on setting the Receive channel for each of the Parts 
of the external MIDI sound generator, refer to the owner’s manual 
that came with the device.
 
* If you want sounds to be played only by the external MIDI sound 
 
When you select a patch or rhythm set on the RS-70, a bank 
number and program number will be transmitted to the external 
MIDI sound module as described in the 
 
 
switch sounds on the external MIDI sound module, but if the 
external MIDI sound module receives a bank number for which 
it provides no sounds, it may choose a substitute sound or may 
produce no sound at all. In order to select a sound reliably, you 
may wish to first select the sound group on your external MIDI 
sound module, and then transmit only a program number. This 
will allow you to switch sounds within the same group.
If you want to transmit only the program number, turn
