Using the convenient functions in performances
What's MIDI?
MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a standard specification
that allows musical data to be exchanged between electronic musical
instruments and computers. By using a MIDI cable to connect devices
that have MIDI connectors, you can create an ensemble in which a
single MIDI keyboard can play multiple instruments, or change settings
automatically as the song progresses.
MIDI OUT connector
MIDI messages are transmitted from these connectors to external MIDI
devices. The RD-08's MIDI OUT connectors are used for sending the
performance data of the controller section.
Connecting a computer
(USB COMPUTER port)
MIDI data can be transferred via the RD-08's USB COMPUTER port
to and from your computer.
* For details on operating requirements and supported operating
systems, refer to the Roland website.
