HOW ΤΟ USE MIDI
MIDI is an abbreviation for Musical Instrument Digital Interface,
andis a standard that allows various types of data to be exchanged
between electronic musical instruments. You only have to connect
the musical instrument you will be playing to another musical
instrument (or to a digital device that is not a musical instrument)
using a MIDI cable. After connection, when you play your musical
instrument, data is sent to the other instrument which enables you
to expand your musical range of expression.

high quality, but if you would like to use rhythmic patterns which
you have programmed yourself, try connecting the Digital Rhythm
Programmer RX Series to ME.

ME as well as received by RX) that can be controlled with this
sample connection is limited to rhythm-related information and
consists basically of the following functions:
MIDI OUT
(1) Starting (or stopping) the rhythm
of ME causes
the
rhythm of RX to start (or stop).
(2) Changing the tempo of ME changes the tempo of RX.
* Set the Synchronization mode of RX to the External Synchro-
nous mode. (For details, refer to the 'RX Owner's Guide')

causes sound to be generated from DX.

of ME also changes the voice of DX.
