If you connect an external MIDI device to the C-30 to transmit or receive performance data, the two devices will be able to control
each other's performance.
For example, you can use the C-30 to play sounds or select sounds on the external MIDI device.

In order to send or receive MIDI data to or from another MIDI device, the MIDI channel of the transmitting device must match the
MIDI channel of the receiving device.

What is MIDI?
“MIDI” stands for “Musical Instrument Digital Interface,” and is a worldwide standard for exchanging performance data
between electronic musical instruments and computers. The C-30 provides MIDI connectors that can send and receive
performance data to and from an external device. By connecting the C-30 to other devices via these connectors, you can take
advantage of a wide range of possibilities.
