About MIDI
MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a standard format for data transmission/
reception. It enables the transfer of performance data and commands between MIDI devices
and personal computers. Using MIDI, you can control a connected MIDI device from the
instrument, or control the instrument from a connected MIDI device or computer.
