MIDI
The term MIDI is an acronym for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, an international standard
for connecting synthesizers, sequencers (digital recorders) and other electronic instruments so that
they can exchange performance data.
The CN290 is equipped with two MIDI jacks for exchanging data: MIDI IN and MIDI OUT. Each
uses a special cable with a DIN connector.
MIDI IN: For receiving note, program change and other data.
MIDI OUT: For sending note, program change and other data.
MIDI EXAMPLES
(1) Connection to another MIDI compatible keyboard or sound generator module
When connected as shown in the illustration, data on how the digital piano is played (which keys
are struck) can be sent to another MIDI instrument. Plus, the sound from the CN290 can be layered
over the sound of the other instrument.
