Chapter 7. Connecting External Devices

Connecting MIDI Devices

By connecting an external MIDI device and exchanging
performance data, you can control one device from the other.
For instance, you can output sound from the other
instrument or switch Tones on the other instrument.

■ What's MIDI?

MIDI, short for "Musical Instrument Digital Interface," was
developed as a universal standard for the exchange of
performance data between electronic instruments and
computers.
The RG-7 is equipped with MIDI connectors to let it
exchange performance data with external devices. These
connectors can be used to connect the RG-7 to an external
device for even greater versatility.
* A separate publication titled "MIDI Implementation" is also
available. It provides complete details concerning the way
MIDI has been implemented on this unit. If you should require
this publication (such as when you intend to carry out byte-
level programming), please contact the nearest Roland Service
Center or authorized Roland distributor.

■ Connectors

MIDI Out Connector
Connect this to the MIDI In connector on an external MIDI
device using a MIDI cable (sold separately).
Performance data when you play the keyboard or depress a
pedal is sent from this connector to the external MIDI
connector.
MIDI In Connector
Connect this to the MIDI Out connector on an external MIDI
device using a MIDI cable (sold separately).
This receives MIDI messages that are sent from external
MIDI devices. The RG-7 receiving MIDI messages can output
sounds, exchange tones and perform other operations.
* External MIDI devices can't be used for remotely changing the
Tones played by the RG-7's keyboard.
