MIDI is the acronym for Musical Instrument Digital Interface. It is the industry standard protocol which allows the exchange of musical data between electronic musical instruments, devices (such as a sequencer), and computers.

MIDI Channels

MIDI protocol transmits multiple channels of MIDI performance data. Typical MIDI instruments can play up to 16 channels at the same time. Each channel can be assigned its own Program.

MIDI Connection

In addition to the conventional MIDI In and Out ports, MP120 has a USB port. You can connect the MP120 directly to a computer with a USB cable.

To use the MP120 as a MIDI device with a computer, use the MP120's USB Type-B USB port.
