Making the Connections

MIDI

MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a world-standard digital communication interface/language that allows multiple electronic instruments, computers, and other related devices to communicate with each other within a connection.

The MIDI IN port receives MIDI data from an external MIDI device. The MIDI OUT port transmits MIDI data to an external MIDI device. The instruments communicate with each other by sending 'messages' or MIDI data. The sending instrument usually assigns the data to one of the sixteen MIDI channels, then transmits it over the MIDI cable. The cable itself, however, is not divided up into sixteen channels, just as with a television set that receives programs on different channels, it is up to the receiving instrument to 'tune into' the proper MIDI channel. If the sending and receiving channels on the respective instruments do not match, the receiving instrument may not understand or respond to the one sending.

Connecting with (External Device)

For two MIDI instruments to communicate, they must be connected by MIDI cables. In a basic example, the MIDI OUT terminals of this keyboard could be connected to the MIDI OUT and terminals of a sequencer, allowing you to record and play back performance data from this keyboard.
