MIDI THRU. At the factory settings, this functions as a MIDI OUT

This is an input jack for connecting a separately sold foot
switch (DP-2, FS-5U). You can use a foot switch to play or stop
the song remotely, or to punch-in/out.

audio device to the OPTICAL or COAXIAL connector. If you wish to
recorded digital audio signals, you must change the settings as described in

this is a high-impedance input, a guitar or bass can be
connected directly.
