What’s MIDI?
MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a communications protocol designed to
let various music-making machines exchange information. It allows one device to
control another, and several devices to all be used together in coordination.
In/Out
PODXT has two MIDI connections: IN & OUT. You connect PODXT to other MIDI
devices by connecting MIDI cables to these connectors. Each connection is a one-way
street: information flows from the O
UT of one device to the IN of another device. To
allow information to flow back, you must connect a second cable, from I
N to OUT.
