MIDI
What’s MIDI?
MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a world-wide standard for transfer-
ring performance-related information between electronic musical instruments and
computers.
What can you do using MIDI?
By using MIDI, you can control another MIDI device from the LP-350 or play the
LP-350’s sound generator from another MIDI device. You can also use the LP-350 in
conjunction with a sequencer or multiple MIDI devices to enjoy complex ensembles.
MIDI connections
MIDI cables (sold separately) are used to transfer MIDI data. Connect the cable
between the LP-350’s MIDI connector and the MIDI connector of your external
MIDI device. There are two types of MIDI connector.
MIDI OUT: This transmits MIDI data. The MIDI messages transmitted when you
play the LP-350’s keyboard can play or control an external MIDI
device.
Connect a MIDI cable from the LP-350’s MIDI OUT connector to your
external MIDI device’s MIDI IN connector.
MIDI IN: This receives MIDI data. MIDI messages transmitted from an external
MIDI device (e.g., MIDI keyboard or sequencer) can control or play
the LP-350’s sound generator.
Connect a MIDI cable from the LP-350’s MIDI IN connector to your
external MIDI device’s MIDI OUT connector.
