MX-200” is displayed when you turn on the power, and then

If 001 appears in the display, the Wave Expansion Board has
been installed correctly.
If the display shows “- - -,” it’s likely that the Wave
Expansion Board is not being recognized correctly. Follow
the steps inTurning Off the Power (p. 9) to switch off the
power, then reinstall the Wave Expansion Board, making
sure you do it correctly.
Using a Sequencer
Playback
When data prescribing the tone selections has been placed at
the beginning of a song, the song is played using the tones
the song data prescribes, regardless of the MX-200’s settings.
If no data prescribing the tone selections has been recorded
at the beginning of a song, the song is played in accord with
the MX-200’s settings.
In addition, when GS or GM song data is played back, the
MX-200 functions as a GS/GM sound module.
The MX-200 may not function as a GS/GM sound module
when RECEIVE GM2 ON (p. 25) is set to OFF.
Recording
The arrangement by which the data for selecting tones is
recorded at the beginning of the song data is handled by the
organ and sequencer. When the sequencer is placed in record
mode, it transmits a message alerting the organ that it is
ready for recording. In response to this, the organ transmits
information regarding the tones selected on the organ itself
and the MIDI coupler tone selection data. The sequencer
records this information while further transmitting the tone
selection data to the MX-200. In this manner, the sequencer
records the tone selection data at the beginning of the song
data.
The MX-200 is designed to be used in conjunction with the
MR-200 sequencer, which performs the operation described
above automatically. When using other sequencers with the
MX-200, refer to the corresponding MIDI Implementation for
the proper settings.
