Connecting via the MIDI interface
You can use the MIDI connectors to connect external controllers (master
keyboard, MIDI guitar, wind controller, MIDI accordion…) or additional musi-
cal instruments (for example, your preferred piano expander).
You can also use the MIDI connector to connect a personal computer through
a MIDI interface. However, you can use the USB port for a simpler connec-
tion.
▪ Use the IN connector to receive MIDI data from a controller or computer.
Connect it to the other device’s MIDI OUT port.
▪ Use the OUT connector to send MIDI data to another musical instrument or
computer. Connect it to the other device’s MIDI IN port.
▪ Use the THRU connector to send an exact copy of the data received on the
IN connector. Use it to cascade Pa4X with other MIDI devices.

MIDI channels on page 896.
