Clock source and analog priority

Manufacturer documented

SYSTEM SETTINGS → TEMPO/SYNC separates Sync Mode from Sync Out. The first selects incoming timing; the second selects outgoing MIDI clock ports.

A cable in EXT CLK IN makes that input take priority regardless of Sync Mode. Check it when MIDI or USB sync appears to be ignored.

External keyboard and USB

Manufacturer documented

Remote Kbd selects MIDI IN or USB for an external keyboard acting in place of the built-in keys. Follow Roland's instruction to match the keyboard's transmit channel to Ctrl Ch for that mode.

SH-4d does not provide USB HOST for a directly connected USB MIDI keyboard. Its USB input can receive from a computer instead. The USB Driver setting requires a restart when changed.
