MIDI
MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a world-standard communication interface that allows other
MIDI-compatible instruments and equipment to transmit information and control one another. This makes it
possible to create “systems” of MIDI instruments and equipment that offer far greater versatility and control
than is available with isolated instruments.

MIDI Connectors
Your instrument MIDI IN connector receives MIDI data from
an external MIDI device which can be used to control yours.
The MIDI OUT connector transmits MIDI data generated by
your instrument (e.g. note and velocity data produced by
playing the keyboard).
MIDI Control
Most MIDI keyboards (including your instrument) transmit note
and velocity (touch response) information via the MIDI OUT
connector whenever a note is played on the keyboard. If the
MIDI OUT connector is connected to the MIDI IN connector
of a second keyboard (synthesizer, etc.), a tone generator will
respond precisely to notes played on the original transmitting
keyboard. The result is that you can effectively play two
instruments at once, providing thick multi-instrument sounds.
This instrument also transmits “program change” data when
one of its voices is selected. Depending on how the receiving
device is set up, the corresponding voice will be automatically
selected on the receiving keyboard or tone generator whenever
a voice is selected on your instrument.
Your instrument is capable of receiving the same MIDI data,
so a second MIDI keyboard connected to your instrument
MIDI IN connector can be used to remotely play yours and
select voices as required.
