Connecting MIDI Devices
About MIDI
MIDI stands for “Musical Instrument Digital Interface,” and
is a worldwide standard for the exchange of performance
data (MIDI messages) and other information among
electronic instruments and computers.
The FP-2 features a MIDI connector and a computer
connector to allow performance information to be exchanged
with external devices. Connecting the keyboard to other
devices with these connectors provides you with an even
greater variety of ways to use your keyboard.
*A separate publication titled “MIDI Implementation” is also
available. It provides complete details concerning the way
MIDI has been implemented on this unit. If you should require
this publication (such as when you intend to carry out byte-
level programming), please contact the nearest Roland Service
Center or authorized Roland distributor.
* MIDI cables are not included. Consult your Roland dealer if
you need to purchase.
