This connection is also used to send and receive MIDI data to and from your computer.

This connection is also relevant to MPK249's MIDI Out and MIDI In:

If an external device is connected to the MIDI Out, your computer can send MIDI messages out along this path: Computer MPK249 External Device.

If an external device is connected to the MIDI In, the external device sends MIDI messages in along this path: External Device MPK249 Computer. MIDI messages can then be sent to an external device via the MIDI Out, but it must pass through the computer first.

6.MIDI Out: Use a standard five-pin MIDI cable to connect this MIDI Out to the MIDI In of an external MIDI device (e.g., a synthesizer, sequencer, drum machine, etc.).
