This is the wireless MIDI input and output to your Sylphyo. − MIDI DIN. This represents the two MIDI DIN ports on the rear panel of your Link, which you can use to communicate with other hardware. − USB-MIDI Host.
Playing with a hardware synthesizer You can control any MIDI-compa ble hardware synthesizer with the Sylphyo +Link. However, you will need to get a MIDI cable to connect your synthesizer to the Link. First, connect the Link to a power supply. Then, plug one end of the MIDI cable to the MIDI Out port of your Link, and plug the other end into the MIDI In port of your synth. Finally, turn on your Link and Sylphyo, as well as your synth.
