19. MIDI

MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a

world-standard communication interface that

allows MIDI compatible musical instruments

and equipment to share musical information

and control one another.

This makes it possible to create systems

of MIDI instruments and equipment that offer

far greater versatility and control than is

available with isolated instruments.

The MIDI IN jack on the Piano can receive MIDI data from an external MIDI device that

can be used to control your digital piano. The MIDI OUT jack transmits MIDI data

generated by the Digital Piano (e. g. note and velocity data produced by playing the

instrument). When connecting MIDI compatible instruments, always connect the MIDI

OUT jack of one instrument to the MIDI IN of the other.

Never connect the two MIDI jacks of

the same instrument. This Digital Piano

transmits note and velocity (touch

response) information via the MIDI

OUT connector whenever a note is

played on the keyboard. If the MIDI

OUT connector of the Piano is

connected to the MIDI IN connector

of a second instrument (synthesizer

etc), that instrument will respond

precisely to the notes played on the Piano.

The result is that you can play two (or more) instruments at once, creating multi-

instrumental sounds. The Digital Piano also transmits “program change” data when one

of its voices is selected. Depending on how the receiving MIDI device is set up, the

corresponding voice of that device will be automatically selected whenever a voice is

selected on this Piano.

The Piano is, of course, also capable of receiving MIDI data. A second MIDI keyboard

connected to the MIDI IN jack of the piano can be used to remotely play and select

voices as required on the Piano.

20. USB jack

The USB jack of your piano may be connected to a computer. The required operation

system would be Microsoft Windows XP or later only. By using an appropriate software

you may edit the data from your piano with your computer.
