Set the transmission channel of the MIDI keyboard to

If the SP-303 is set up for use as a rhythm sound module
(p. 56), return the SP-303 to its regular operating status
(holding down [EXT SOURCE] and turning the POWER
switch to ON returns the SP-303 to normal status).

MIDI keyboard. The SP-303’s sample plays.

simultaneously recorded to the sequencer.
2. Stop the recording on the MIDI sequencer.
When the MIDI sequencer is played back, the SP-303s
sample is played back just as before.
