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.

Making the Connection

Turn the volume all the way down on the DP-

990 and on the MIDI device you’re about to

connect.

Switch off the power to the DP-990 and the

MIDI device you’re about to connect.

Use a MIDI cables (sold separately) to connect

the MIDI connectors to each other.

Switch on the power to the DP-990 and the

connected device.

Adjust the volume level on the DP-990 and the

connected device.

You should also set the MIDI transmit channel

as needed (p. 76).

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 DP-990 is equipped with MIDI connectors to let it

exchange performance data with external devices. These

connectors can be used to connect the DP-990 to an

external device for even greater versatility.
