Connecting to MIDI Devices
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 HPi-6 is equipped with MIDI connectors to let it exchange
performance data with external devices. These connectors can
be used to connect the HPi-6 to an external device for even
greater versatility.
