Now press the "RECORD" button on the "TRANSPORT" Control Window above:

And play the MIDI keyboard. If you've got your audio patch correct, you are ready to record your first MIDI sequence.

Here's a list of things to double check when doing this project:

• When you play the MIDI keyboard, a row of green lights flash on the Midi Timpe Piece Interface
• Be sure to patch the proper output from the Syth module out into a tie line input
• Complete your patch by patching on the main patch bay from the same tie line out into a line input on the mixer
• Mixer: stereo fader up, input fader up, A/B button *DOWN* (line setting), -20 dB pad *DOWN*
• Mixer: gain knob (on top of module) up about 50% or so
• Mixer: your listening level knob is up (~ 40%)
• Mixer: select "ST" button (listen to the "stereo bus)
• Speaker switch on (choose one or the other please)
• Your MIDI track is "RECORD ENABLED"
• Your Synth Module's MIDI volume is not set to ZERO
• Your Synth Module's VOLUME KNOB is at MAXIMUM
• Midi Keyboard: Move the volume slider to the bottom and back up to the top (reset MIDI volume)
