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 HP307 is equipped with MIDI connectors to let it exchange performance data with external devices. These connectors can be used to
connect the HP307 to an external device for even greater versatility.
