Port 2
This port is used as the MIDI Thru Port, allowing you to
re-transmit MIDI data received by this instrument to an
external MIDI device. This is useful, for example, when
you want to connect an external MIDI device not having
a USB terminal to a computer via this instrument, and so
on. When you use this port, set “MIDI” to “Off ” and
“USB” to “On” from the [MENU] button → “General” →
“MIDI Settings” → “MIDI Port.”
The MIDI data received via the USB [TO HOST]
terminal will be re-transmitted to an external MIDI
device via the MIDI [OUT] terminal. The MIDI data
received via the MIDI [IN] terminal will be re-
transmitted to an external MIDI device via the USB [TO
HOST] terminal.
When using a USB connection, make sure to match the
MIDI transmit port and the MIDI receive port as well as
the MIDI transmit channel and the MIDI receive
channel. Make sure to set the MIDI port of the external
device connected to this instrument according to the
above information.
