Korg Volca FM 1 - Internal & external sequencer

External Sequencer

If you are using an external sequencer:
1. make sure MIDI RX ShortMessage  is On.
    The LED above pad 7 needs to be lit.
    To do this, while holding down the MEMORY button, turn the volca fm on.
     When you have finished, press the (REC) button.


2. set the MIDI channel
    While holding down the MEMORY button, turn the volca fm on.
    Keyboard buttons 1 to 16 correspond to the MIDI channels 1 to 16. 
    Press the button that corresponds to the desired channel, and the LED
    below the keyboard button will light up.
    When you have finished, press the  (REC) button.

3. make sure you clear the pattern stored in the Volca, otherwise this will play when
    you start the external sequencer.
