Roland E-66 - Using MIDI

Using MIDI
MIDI is an acronym for Musical
Instrument Digital Interface - a
industry-wide communications
standard for the exchange of
performaance information
among MIDI-equipped
instruments and devices.
Before making any connections
with other devices, be sure the
E-66 and all external devices
are turned off.
The E-66 has three MIDI sockets
on its rear panel:
a) MIDI IN:
This socket is used to receive
performance information from
an external MIDI device. The
data received here can control
the E-66, just as if its buttons
and keys were being pressed.
* The data received by this
socket is not re-transmitted
through the MIDI OUT socket.
b) MIDI OUT:
This socket is used to transmit
the E-66's performance data to
some external MIDI device,
thereby controlling its sounds
and functions.
с) MIDI THRU:
This socket is used to re-
transmit messages received by
MIDI IN. Use this socket to
connect more MIDI devices.
