Connecting other equipment via MIDI

Here are some ways to connect other equipment to the
V50 using the MIDI terminals.
Controlling the V50 from another MIDI device (a
l
keyboard or synthesizer such as the KX or DX series).
Controlling another MIDI device (a synthesizer or
l
tone generator module such as the DX or TX series)
from the V50.
Note:
This is also how you will make connections when using
the V50 sequencer to control external synthesizers
or tone generator modules.
Connecting an external sequencer (such as the QX
l
series) and using it to record and playback.
There are many other ways to make MIDI connections,
depending on your equipment and needs.
The MIDI THRU terminal re-transmits the MIDI
signals received at MIDI IN. This makes it possible for
more
than one MIDI device to be controlled at once.
