-Test the cable is it good soldered and good assignment wires by the Ohm tester.
+The Sharp boards and the 2nd SACOM board have the same pinout. The image shows solder side of the connectors. Connect points as shown in the diagram (1-1,2-2, ...5-5). Test the connections with a multimeter and make sure that they are correct. Connect the cable to MIDI board and MIDI sound module via MIDI Standard cable.
-If cables have a problem ( cutted or shorted other lines) then fix that problem to cable work correctly.
-If step 5 test is passed then created cable connect to the MIDI board and
+**Example:**
-MIDI sound module via MIDI Standard cable.
-ex)
 X68k MIDI board's MIDI out port -> Created cable -> MIDI standard cable -> MIDI sound module
-Next, starting play the music on X68k by Z-music or other music system software.
-If MIDI sound module is receive the MIDI message, then your job is finished.
+Try playing music on X68k with Z-music or other music software. If MIDI sound module is receiving the MIDI message, then your work is done.
