Connecting External MIDI Devices (MIDI [OUT] [IN] terminals)
MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a global format standard for performance data transmission and reception between electronic musical instruments. Connecting musical instruments that support MIDI via MIDI cables enables you to transfer performance and setting data between multiple musical instruments. Using MIDI, you can create and arrange more complex and dynamic performances than would be possible with the use of only a single musical instrument.
