What is a MIDI?
MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a standard
specification that allows musical data to be transferred
between electronic musical instruments and computers. If
a MIDI cable is connected between devices equipped with
MIDI connectors, you'll be able to play multiple devices
from a single MIDI keyboard, perform ensembles using
multiple MIDI instruments, program the settings to change
automatically as the song progresses, and more.
About MIDI connectors
The FA is equipped with the following two types of MIDI
connectors, each of which has the following role.
Connector Explanation

that are sent from an external MIDI device.
MIDI IN connector When the FA receives MIDI messages, it can
respond by playing notes, switching sounds,
etc.
