MIDI Functions

You can connect the E-09 to an external MIDI device and control each device from the other by transmitting and receiving performance data. For
example, you can use one device to select or play sounds on the other device.
The E-09 has MIDI connectors which allow it to transmit and receive performance data. By using these connectors to connect external devices to
the E-09, you can enjoy an even wider range of possibilities.

MIDI

stands for “Musical Instrument Digital Interface,” and is a universal standard that allows electronic musical instruments and computers

to exchange performance data.

Connection Example

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.

MIDI provides sixteen channels, numbered 1–16. Even if MIDI devices are connected, you won’t be able to switch or play sounds unless the two
devices are set to the same MIDI channel.
