MIDI and USB
MIDI stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, this is a world-wide
standard communication interface that enables electronic musical instruments
and computers (of all brands) to communicate with each other so that
MIDI command 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 greater versatility and control than is available with isolated
instruments. Whether you interface with computers, sequencers, expanders or
other controllers, your musical horizons will be greatly enhanced.
