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.
When the LX-10 is connected to a MIDI sequencer, set
it to “Local Off.” Refer to “Preventing Doubled Notes

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 LX-10 is equipped with MIDI connectors to let it
exchange performance data with external devices. These
connectors can be used to connect the LX-10 to an external
device for even greater versatility.
