About MIDI and the MIDIPLUS Jr.
MIDI is the acronym for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, which makes all
digital musical instruments equipped with this standardized interface to be
able to exchange their MIDI data. As a MIDI instrument, your new MIDIP-
LUS Jr. produces no actual sound on its own. A host computer running ap-
propriate MIDI-aware software is required to give voice to any instrument or
effects sounds you would then control using your MIDIPLUS Jr.. Your MI-
DIPLUS Jr. is compatible with any USB MIDI compliant computer. However,
it is specifically designed and supported to work with an Apple computer
running Mac OS X 10.2.8 or higher, and a PC running Windows XP.
