Understanding MIDI
MIDIstandsforMusicalInstrumentDigitalInterface,andisaworldwidestan-
dardforexchangingvarioustypesofmusicaldatabetweenelectronicmusical
instrumentsandcomputers.
WhenMIDIcablesareusedtoconnecttwoormoreMIDIdevices,performance
datacanbeexchangedbetweenthedevices,eveniftheyweremadebydier-
entmanufacturers.
MIDIdatacanalsobeexchangedbetweenthemonologueandyourpersonal
computerusingasingleUSBcable.ThemonologueletsyouassignMIDIcon-
trolchangenumbers(CC#)tothemajorparametersthataectthesound,and
controltheseparametersfromanexternalMIDIsequencerwhileyouplaythe
