Roland JUPITER-80 用户手册

Connecting an External MIDI Device

MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a standard 

specification that allows musical data to be transferred between 

electronic musical instruments and computers. If a MIDI cable 

is connected between devices equipped with MIDI connectors, 

you’ll be able to play multiple devices from a single MIDI keyboard, 

perform ensembles using multiple MIDI instruments, program the 

settings to change automatically as the song progresses, and more.

The JUPITER-80 is equipped with the following 

three types of MIDI connectors, each of which has 

the following role.

This connector receives MIDI messages that are sent from an 

external MIDI device. When the JUPITER-80 receives MIDI messages, 

it can respond by playing notes, switching sounds, etc.

This connector transmits MIDI messages to an external MIDI device. 

Use it when you want to control an external MIDI device.

MIDI messages received at MIDI IN are re-transmitted without 

change from this connector to an external MIDI device. Use 

this in situations such as when you use multiple MIDI devices 

simultaneously.

You can connect external MIDI devices to the JUPITER-80’s MIDI 

OUT connector, and use the JUPITER-80 to control the connected 

MIDI devices.

External Part settings are saved in the Registration.

The External Part settings will be enabled.

•  If the MIDI Out Setting is set to INTERNAL, Parts that are turned 

on will transmit MIDI messages. 

Choose the INTERNAL setting if you want a Part’s performance 

data to be recorded on a MIDI sequencer, or if you want to 

control the JUPITER-80 from a MIDI sequencer.

•  The MIDI channel of each Part is specified by the system 

parameter “Part Channel” (p. 85).
