Aerophone Pro AE-30: How can I set the AE-30 to not make sound when I’m using the instrument to control another device via MIDI?

MIDI control mode is used for controlling an external sound module from the  Aerophone Pro AE-30, or for using software such as a DAW to exchange data with the  Aerophone Pro AE-30.

When the [MIDI CONTROL] switch on the left side of this instrument is “On” and you want to mute the internal sound engine, set “MIDI Ctrl Sound” in the System parameters to “Off”. With the factory settings, this is set to “On”. Refer to the related Q&A “How does this instrument operate when MIDI CONTROL SW is on?” for how the instrument operates when the [MIDI CONTROL] switch is “On”.

Follow the steps below for the settings.

2. Use the [-] [+] (</>) buttons to select “MIDI Ctrl Sound” in the System parameters.
3. Press the [MENU] button.
