About MIDI

MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a standard format for data trans- mission/reception. It enables the transfer of performance data and commands between MIDI devices and personal computers. Using MIDI, you can control a connected MIDI device from the N-100, or control the N-100 from a connected MIDI device or computer.

2AUX OUT [L] [R](LEVEL FIXED) jacks

You can connect these jacks to a stereo system to amplify the N-100 or to a cassette tape recorder to record your performance. Refer to the diagram below and use audio cables to make the connections.

CAUTION

When the N-100’s AUX OUT jacks are connected to an external audio system, first turn on the power to the N-100, then to the external audio system. Reverse this order when you turn the power off.

When these are connected (with RCA pin plug; LEVEL FIXED), the sound is output to the external device at a fixed level, regardless of the [MASTER VOLUME] dial setting.

NOTE

Since MIDI data that can be transmitted or received varies depending on the type of MIDI device, check the “MIDI Implementation Chart” to find out what MIDI data and commands your devices can transmit or receive. The N-100’s MIDI Implementation Chart appears on page 37.

NOTE

Use audio cables and adaptor plugs with zero resistance.
