What is MIDI?
MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is the international standard for digital communication of
electronic musical instrument data. This means that any equipment which has a MIDI terminal— such as
electronic musical instruments and personal computers— can easily exchange digital data with other
MIDI equipment without resorting to complicated conversions or connections.
MIDI terminals
(On the rear panel)
IN:
The terminal by which this instrument receives
data from other equipment.
OUT:
The terminal that transmits data from this in-
strument to other equipment.
THRU:
The terminal that transfers data from the IN
terminal directly.
• For these connections, use a commercially
available MIDI cable.
• If the MIDI IN switch is set on to BASS PEDAL,
all MIDI settings except for MIDI OUT are not
effective. (Refer to page 199.)
