What is MIDI?

The letters MIDI stand for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, which is the name of a worldwide standard for digital signals and
connectors that makes it possible to exchange musical data between musical instruments and computers (machines) produced by
different manufacturers.

• For information about the relationship between each Synthesizer part (page E-78) and the MIDI IN and MIDI OUT channels, see
