Connecting Other Equipment
Connecting MIDI Equipment
Performance data can be exchanged between the RK-300
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 RK-300 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 RK-300, you can take advantage of
a wide range of possibilities.

turn down the volume of all devices and turn off their power
to prevent malfunctions or speaker damage.
