MIDI IN connectors

The XV-5080 has two MIDI IN connectors. By providing for the use of two MIDI IN connectors, the XV-5080 readily accommodates a broad variety of performance situations.

The XV-5080’s MIDI IN 1 connector is usually used for keyboard performances and the like, whereas the MIDI IN 2 connector is designed as an auxiliary connector, convenient for using a connected sequencer or other device playing accompaniment.

*If using only one of the MIDI IN connectors, we recommend that you use MIDI IN 1.
