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 CP95 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 CP95 can be layered over the sound of the other
instrument.
