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 HPi-6 is equipped with MIDI connectors to let it exchange 
performance data with external devices. These connectors can 
be used to connect the HPi-6 to an external device for even 
greater versatility.
