allows multiple electronic instruments,

communicate with each other within a
connected.
The MIDI IN port receives MIDI data from
an external MIDI device. The MIDI OUT
port transmits MIDI data to an external
MIDI device. The instruments communi-
cate with each other by sending
'messages' or MIDI data. The sending
instrument usually assigns the data to one
of the sixteen MIDI channels, then
transmits it over the MIDI cable. The cable
itself, however, is not divided up into
sixteen channels, just as with a television
set that receives programs on different
channels, it is up to the receiving instru-
ment to 'tune into' the proper MIDI channel.
If the sending and receiving channels on
the respective instruments do not match,
the receiving instrument may not un-
derstand or respond to the one sending.
