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.
