MIDI

What is MIDI?

MIDI, is the abbreviation of Musical Instrument Digital

Interface. It is an international standard that was created

to connect and transfer data between electronic musical

instruments, computers and other devices.

What can you do with MIDI?

Thanks to MIDI, you can use the D1 to control other in-

struments, use other instruments to control the D1, and

use a sequencer to create complex musical pieces.

When you use the D1 keyboard or pedal, or select a sound,

the notes, pedal activation and change in sound are trans-

mitted to another instrument, or are recorded by a se-

quencer.

Connections

Commercially available MIDI cables are used to transfer

MIDI data. Connect these cables from the MIDI connec-

tors of the D1 to the MIDI connectors of the external MIDI

device that you want to exchange data with. There are two

types of MIDI connector.

MIDI IN connector

This connector receives MIDI messages.

The MIDI IN connector lets you play the D1’s sounds from

an external MIDI device (e.g., MIDI keyboard or sequenc-

er). Use a MIDI cable to connect the D1’s MIDI IN connec-

tor to your external MIDI device’s MIDI OUT connector.

MIDI OUT connector

This connector transmits MIDI messages.

The MIDI OUT connector lets you control an external

MIDI device using the MIDI messages transmitted from

the D1. Use a MIDI cable to connect the D1’s MIDI OUT

connector to your external MIDI device’s MIDI IN connec-

tor.
