Connecting MIDI Devices
By connecting an external MIDI device and exchanging
performance data, you can control the performances on one
device from the other. For instance, you can output sound from
the other instrument or switch tones on the other instrument.

What’s MIDI?
MIDI stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, an
international standard which allows performance information
to be communicated among electronic musical instruments
and computers.
The DP-900 provides MIDI connectors, which allow
performance data to be exchanged with external devices. When
these connectors are used to connect the DP-900 to external
devices, an even wider range of possibilities becomes available.

MIDI has been implemented on this unit. If you should require
