MIDI AND USB
MIDI stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface. This is a world-wide standard com
-
munication interface that enables electronic musical instruments and computers (of all
brands) to communicate with each other so that instructions and other data can pass
between them. This exchange of information makes it possible to create a system of MIDI
instruments and devices that offer far greater versatility and control than is available with
isolated instruments. Whether you interface with computers, sequencers, expanders or
other keyboards, your musical horizons will be greatly enhanced.

1. MIDI OUT:
This terminal receives MIDI
data from an external MIDI device.
