USING MIDI

MIDI stands for 'Musical Instrument Digital Interface' - an industry-wide standard that allows electronic

musical instruments and computers to exchange musical and system data. Most electronic instruments sold

these days are MIDI compatible.

MIDI devices have unique, multi-pin connectors which are used to physically link one device to another via

special MIDI cables. The W-5000 has two sets of MIDI connectors; MIDI Port 1 and 2:

MIDI does not transmit the sound of an instrument, but rather digital messages which instruct the receiving

device to do something (e.g. change to a different sound, raise the volume, turn the reverb off and so on).

MIDI is the most significant advancement in the music industry in the last 15 years and has revolutionized

the way music is made!

USING EXTERNAL SOUND MODULES

As the W-5000 features two MIDI ports, you can connect one or two external sound modules to the

instrument and then use them to produce additional sounds. For our example, however, we'll assume that

only one module is being used (and that it is connected to MIDI port 1).

Connect the MIDI OUT of port 1 to the MIDI IN port of the sound module. Then connect the MIDI OUT

port of the sound module to the MIDI IN on the W-5000:

Note: If you connect the

external sound module after

powering up the W-5000,

you should use the [MIDI]

Initialize parameter to

initialize the sound module.
