Connecting to Other Devices

Connecting to MIDI Devices

By connecting an external MIDI device and exchanging performance data, you can control one device from the other.

For instance, you can output sound from the other instrument or switch Tones on the other instrument.

What’s MIDI?

MIDI, short for “Musical Instrument Digital Interface,” was developed as a universal standard for the exchange of performance data between electronic instruments and computers.

The HP305/HP302 is equipped with MIDI connectors to let it exchange performance data with external devices. These connectors can be used to connect the HP305/HP302 to an external device for even greater versatility.
