MIDI stands for “Musical Instrument Digital Interface”. However, the MIDI standard
goes well beyond just instrumentation and sequencing. The MIDI inputs and outputs
allow connection and/or communication with external MIDI equipment. One function of
this port is MIDI programming. This port can also be used for MMC (MIDI Machine
Control) and MTC (MIDI Time Control). Please consult the manual of the software
manufacturer to learn setup and usage of different MIDI applications.

either balanced (TRS – Tip Ring Sleeve) ¼” cables or unbalanced TS (Tip Sleeve) ¼”

Line Inputs (3 and 4). These connectors will accept either balanced (TRS – Tip Ring

be used as a standard line level input for devices that do not require pre-amplification
