Connecting to Other Devices
By connecting an external MIDI device and exchanging
performance data, you can control one device from the other.
For instance, you can output sound from the other instrument or
switch tones on the other instrument.
* External MIDI devices can’t be used for remotely changing
the tones played by the RG-1F/RG-3F’s keyboard.
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 RG-1F/RG-3F is equipped with MIDI connectors
to let it exchange performance data with external devices. These
connectors can be used to connect the RG-1F/RG-3F to an
external device for even greater versatility.
