Connecting MIDI Devices
By connecting an external MIDI device and exchanging
performance data, you can control one device from the other.
For instance, you can output sound from the other
instrument or switch Tones on the other instrument.
■ What’s MIDI?
MIDI, short for “Musical Instrument Digital Interface,” was
developed as a universal standard for the exchange of
performance data between electronic instruments and
computers.
The RG-3M is equipped with MIDI connectors to let it
exchange performance data with external devices. These
connectors can be used to connect the RG-3M to an external
device for even greater versatility.
■ Connectors
fig.07-080
MIDI Out Connector
Connect this to the MIDI In connector on an external
MIDI device using a MIDI cable (sold separately).
Performance data when you play the keyboard or
depress a pedal is sent from this connector to the
external MIDI connector.
MIDI In Connector
Connect this to the MIDI Out connector on an external
MIDI device using a MIDI cable (sold separately).
This receives MIDI messages that are sent from external
MIDI devices.
The RG-3M receiving MIDI messages can output sounds,
exchange tones and perform other operations.
* External MIDI devices can’t be used for remotely changing the
Tones played by the RG-3M’s keyboard.
■ Making the Connections

To prevent malfunction and/or damage to speakers or
other devices, always turn down the volume, and turn off
the power on all devices before making any connections.
