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 HP207 is equipped with MIDI connectors to let it
exchange performance data with external devices. These
connectors can be used to connect the HP207 to an
external device for even greater versatility.
