MIDI stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface. This is a world wide standard communication
interface that enables electronic musical instruments and computers to communicate with each
other so that instruc- tions and other data can pass between them. This exchange of information
makes it possible to create a system of MIDI instruments and devices that offers far greater
versatility and control than that is
available with
isolated instruments. Whether you interface with
computers, sequencers, expanders or other equipments your musical horizons will be greatly
enhanced. For instance, you can edit your playing in computer or play back MIDI song from
computer while play the drum.

computer. It can connected without driver installation under the Windows
XP, Windows Vista & MAC
