Terminal Rules
K
In MIDI terminals, we define those devices which control other devices
as "master device", and the other controlled devices as "subordinate
device". Connect the MIDI OUT terminal of master device to the MIDI
IN terminal of subordinate device. The MIDI terminals of the same
device cannot be connected. Similarly the same MIDI terminals of
different Devices cannot be connected.
MIDI OUT
Connect the instrument MIDI OUT terminal through a standard MIDI
cable to a computer or MIDI IN jack of other external audio source. So
the MIDI data can be transmitted from the MIDI out to another MIDI
device when you play the keyboard or use the MIDI control function.
such as: note on/off, voice change, control data and so on. Please refer
