Connecting the C-30 with MIDI equipment

If you connect an external MIDI device to the C-30 to transmit or receive performance data, the two devices will be able to control
each other's performance.
For example, you can use the C-30 to play sounds or select sounds on the external MIDI device.
What is MIDI?
"MIDI" stands for "Musical Instrument Digital Interface," and is a worldwide standard for exchanging performance data
between electronic musical instruments and computers. The C-30 provides MIDI connectors that can send and receive
performance data to and from an external device. By connecting the C-30 to other devices via these connectors, you can take
advantage of a wide range of possibilities.
