MIDI stands for "Musical Instrument Digital Interface" which is a language that lets multiple digital musical items (keyboards, effects, synthesizers, computers, etc. ) communicate with each other. This document can't possibly cover all the MIDI possibilities you may encounter. If you desire more information, visit http://www. midi. org online or search for "MIDI" using your favorite search engine. Basic MIDI Setup The most basic MIDI operations on the G­DEC require use of a MIDI interface device connected to a personal computer. [. . . ] Connect the MIDI cable to the MIDI Out port of the G­DEC that holds the preset you want to share. Then connect the other end of that MIDI cable to the MIDI In port on the G­DEC into which you wish to load the preset. Then follow the Dump Preset procedure (see Utility Mode, page 11) on the G­DEC that holds the preset you want to share. The above MIDI configuration will also allow you to update your G­DEC software if and when an update becomes available from Fender, downloadable from http://www. fender. com. G­DEC update information will be made available from the download site. [. . . ]
