MIDI I/O. MIDI stands for "Musical Instrument Digital Interface. " MIDI inputs
and outputs allow connection to, and communication with, external MIDI
equipment. One function of these ports is MIDI sequencing but the MIDI
protocol can be used for much more than instruments and sequencing.
NOTE: MIDI is not audio but is frequently used to trigger or control
an audio source (such as a plug-in or synthesizer). It's important
to ensure that your MIDI data is correctly sent and received by
the appropriate hardware or software devices. If the devices
generate audio, you may also need to return the audio to an
AudioBox USB input channel. Please consult the User's Manuals
of your MIDI devices for help with MIDI setup and usage.
