MIDI Menu
The letters MIDI stand for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, an international standard for
connecting MIDI equipped synthesizers, drum machines, and other electronic instruments so that
they can exchange data. Personal computers can also be equipped for MIDI communication.
Electronic instruments equipped with MIDI can transmit and receive performance data such as,
notes, what sound to play, pedal information, volume, etc. through the MIDI In/Out/Thru Jacks.
This data can be recorded with a device like a sequencer or a computer.
