How do I connect MIDI devices?

The EP-1320 supports MIDI in and out via a 3.5mm TRS jack, and also works as a USB MIDI device over USB-C. You can connect keyboards, drum machines, external synths, and other Medieval units.

What cable you need

Depending on your gear, you may need a 3.5mm stereo (TRS) to MIDI DIN adapter cable. Some modern MIDI devices have TRS MIDI built in, so a plain 3.5mm cable works directly.

4. 4.Press claves if you want one paed transposed across the full keyboard range.
