Connecting MIDI Equipment

Performance data can be exchanged between the RM-700 and
external MIDI equipment, allowing them to control each other. For
example, you can play one device from the keyboard of another
device, or switch sounds remotely.
What's MIDI?
"MIDI" stands for "Musical Instrument Digital Interface." It is a
universal standard that allows performance data to be
exchanged among electronic musical instruments and
computers.
The RM-700 provides MIDI connectors so that performance
data can be transferred between it and other devices. By using
these connectors to connect other devices with the RM-700,
you can take advantage of a wide range of possibilities.
To prevent malfunction and/or damage to speakers or other
devices, always turn down the volume, and turn off the power
on all devices before making any connections.

Using a MIDI Sequencer to Play the RM-700

• When the RM-700 is connected to a MIDI sequencer, set it to "Local
Off." Refer to "Disconnecting the Internal Sound Generator and
Keyboard (Local Control)" (p. 198).
