Midi - Korg Poetry Owner's Manual

MIDI

What can you do with MIDI?
Thanks to MIDI, you can use the Poetry to control other in-
struments, use other instruments to control the Poetry, and
use a sequencer to create complex musical pieces. When
you use the Poetry keyboard or pedal, or select a sound, the
notes, pedal activation and change in sound are transmit-
ted 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
Poetry 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 Poetry's sounds from
an external MIDI device (e.g., MIDI keyboard or sequencer).
Use a MIDI cable to connect the Poetry'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 Poetry.
Use a MIDI cable to connect the Poetry's MIDI OUT jack to
your external MIDI device's MIDI IN jack.
