Connect MIDI devices. 5. If you wish to connect the P-200 to external MIDI devices such as a rhythm programmer, tone generator or synthesizer, you will need special MIDI cables which plug into the [MIDI] jacks on the rear panel.

Some examples of MIDI system connections, along with information about MIDI, are provided on page 64. MIDI Cable MIDI OUT MIDI IN IN OUT MIDI THRU FOOT CONTROLLER
