About MIDI
What is MIDI?
MIDI stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface. By using MIDI you can convey
musical instrument performance data, or sound selections. MIDI is a universally
recognized standard, so MIDI-compatible instruments and devices, regardless of
model or manufacture, can send music data to each other, subject to certain
differences in their capabilities. MIDI uses a form of data called MIDI messages to
convey actions occurring during play of an instrument, such as a note was played
or a pedal was pressed.
Knowledge of MIDI is not necessarily required in order to play commercially
available music data on the SC-D70, or when playing the SC-D70 from computer
software (such as games). You can simply perform the operations described in the
manual for your music data playback device (MIDI player) or software to play music
on the SC-D70.
The explanations that follow will be helpful when you wish to use MIDI to control
the SC-D70 in greater detail. Read this material as necessary.
