cables can pick up electrical

Although it has a built-in tone generator, the QY300 can drive external tone
generators and synthesizers just like any other MIDI sequencer or music com-
puter. You can even combine the internal voices with those produced by exter-
nal equipment. Connect the QY300 MIDI OUT connector to the MIDI IN
connector of a single external device, or the first in a "chain" of devices you
want to control. The MIDI THRU connector of the first device in the chain
should then be connected to the MIDI IN connector of the second device, and
so on. It's a good idea not to chain more than four or five external devices
without the use of a MIDI distributor or "thru box", to prevent data delays
from having an audible effect on the sound.
