Midi - Korg C1 Owner's Manual

MIDI

What can you do with MIDI?
Thanks to MIDI, you can use the C1/C1 Air to control other
instruments, use other instruments to control the C1/C1
Air, and use a sequencer to create complex musical pieces.
When you use the C1/C1 Air keyboard or pedal, or select
a sound, the notes, pedal activation and change in sound
are transmitted to another instrument, or are recorded by
a sequencer.
Connections
Commercially available MIDI cables are used to transfer
MIDI data. Connect these cables from the MIDI jacks of the
C1/C1 Air to the MIDI jacks of the external MIDI device that
you want to exchange data with. There are two types of
MIDI jack.
MIDI IN jack
This jack receives MIDI messages.
The MIDI IN jack lets you play the C1/C1 Air's sounds from
an external MIDI device (e.g., MIDI keyboard or sequencer).
Use a MIDI cable to connect the C1/C1 Air's MIDI IN jack to
your external MIDI device's MIDI OUT jack.
MIDI OUT jack
This jack transmits MIDI messages.
The MIDI OUT jack lets you control an external MIDI de-
vice using the MIDI messages transmitted from the C1/C1
Air. Use a MIDI cable to connect the C1/C1 Air's MIDI OUT
jack to your external MIDI device's MIDI IN jack.
