About MIDI MIDI stands for Music! Instrument Digital Interface. Itisa ‘universal standard, designed to provide for the exchange of peeformance data among electronic musical insrumens, ‘computers, and other devices. The SP.$05 supports the use of MIDI, and provides two MIDI connectors: MIDIIN and ‘MIDI QUT. These connectors can be connocted toothor MIDI doves, thus grealy expanding your performance possibilits, About the MIDI connectors ‘The SP-505 has the following MIDI connectors. MODIIN: ‘Receives MIDI massages from other MIDI devices. MiD1 OUT: ‘Transmits MIDI messages from the SP-505, About the MIDI implementation chart ‘The MIDI implementation chart (p. 1) provides an easy way {to view the types of MIDI message that the SP-505 can transmit and receive. Compare the SP-505's MID!
