Тһе СР-8 has three MIDI Connectors as
follows.
MIDI THRU Connector
MIDI OUT Connector
MIDI IN Connector
RRC IN MIDI IN

€ MIDI IN Connector
To change Patches оп СР-8 by operating
an external MIDI device such as a MIDI
keyboard or MIDI sequencer, connect the
MIDI OUT of the external device to the
MIDI IN of the СР-8,
* The MIDI.IN connector and the Foot Controller
cannot be used at the same time. When
using the MIDI IN connector, set the Select
Switch on the GP—8 to the MIDI IN position.
€ MIDI OUT Connector
To send Program Change messages (Patch
selection messages) to an external MIDI
device, connect the MIDI OUT of the GP
—8 to the MIDI IN of the external device.
* The MIDI OUT Connector does not send
the MIDI signals fed into the MIDI IN.
MIDI
€ MIDI THRU Connector
Through the MIDI THRU connector, the
exact сору of the MIDI signal fed into
the MIDI IN is sent out. Therefore, more
than one MIDI device can be controlled
by one device at the same time.
* Technically speaking, as many MIDI devices
can be controlled through the MIDI THRU
connectors, But it is not the case in practice ;
for connecting more than three devices,
use the MIDI Output Selector МРИ- 105.
