It's for a midi filer I picked up second hand, the new ones are 40,000
yen. It records and play midi files from/to disc to/from midi cable. In my
case I record my music using music software on a PC, save the bass and
drum parts to floppy. Then when I play "live" the midi player sends the
data to a small drum machine which plays bass and drums, giving me some
backing tracks while I play guitar and my friend sings. I could have a
complete orchrestra playing but that is too pre-recorded. Audiences tend
to accept bass and drums, but phatom violins and saxophones are a bit
much.
