Part XI MIDI

What is MIDI?

MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is the international standard for digital communication of elec- tronic musical instrument data. This means that any equipment which has a MIDI terminal—such as elec- tronic musical instruments and personal computers—can easily exchange digital data with other MIDI equipment without resorting to complicated conversions or connections.

MIDI terminals

(On the rear panel)

MIDI

OUTIN

IN:

The terminal by which this instrument receives data from other equipment.

OUT:

The terminal that transmits data from this instrument to other equipment.

•For these connections, use a commercially available MIDI cable.

MIDI channels

Many different kinds of performance data are sent using just one MIDI cable. This is possible because MIDI signals are sent and received through 16 different “basic channels” (numbered 1 to 16). In order for the exchange of data to take place, the channels on the transmission side must match the channels on the receiving side. This characteristic also makes it possible to link multiple sound generators and to control each by matching specific channels.
