Using With Other Midi Devices - Korg prologue Owner's Manual

Using with other MIDI devices

MIDI stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, and is a worldwide standard
for exchanging various types of musical data between electronic musical instru-
ments and computers.
When MIDI cables are used to connect two or more MIDI devices, performance data
can be exchanged between the devices, even if they were made by different manu-
facturers.
MIDI data can also be exchanged between the prologue and your personal computer
using a single USB cable. The prologue lets you assign MIDI control change num-
bers (CC#) to the major parameters that affect the sound, and control these param-
eters from an external MIDI sequencer while you play the tone generator. You can
also use the front panel knobs or buttons to transmit these control change messages,
in order to control an external MIDI device.
You can also synchronize the prologue's tempo to the MIDI clock of an external
MIDI sequencer or other device, so that the prologue will play in time with the ex-
ternal device and with any changes you make.
Connecting Devices via MIDI and USB
Controlling an external MIDI device from the prologue
If you want to use the prologue's keyboard, controllers, and sequencer to play
sounds on or to control an external MIDI tone generator, connect the prologue's
MIDI OUT connector to the external MIDI tone generator's MIDI IN connector using
a MIDI cable.
