What’s MIDI?
MIDI, short for “Musical Instrument Digital Interface,”
was developed as a universal standard for the
exchange of performance data between electronic
instruments and computers.
The DP990F is equipped with MIDI connectors to let it
exchange performance data with external devices.
These connectors can be used to connect the DP990F
to an external device for even greater versatility.
