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.
* To prevent malfunction and/or damage to speakers or other devices, always turn down the volume, and turn off the power on all devices before
making any connections.

What’s MIDI?
MIDI, short for “Musical Instrument Digital Interface,” was developed as a universal standard for the exchange of performance data among
electronic musical instruments and computers.
The RP201 is equipped with MIDI connectors to let it exchange performance data with external devices. These connectors can be used to connect
the RP201 to an external device for even greater versatility.
