About MIDI
MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a standard format for
data transmission and reception. It enables the transfer of performance
data and commands between MIDI devices and personal computers.
Using MIDI, you can control a connected MIDI device from the Clavi-
nova, or control the Clavinova from a connected MIDI device or com-
puter.
MIDI connectors
MIDI [IN]: Receives MIDI data.
MIDI [OUT]: Transmits MIDI data.
MIDI [THRU]: Transmits data received at the MIDI [IN] connector, passing it through
the unit unmodified.
MIDI cables
Prepare dedicated MIDI cables.
TIP
MIDI performance data and
commands are transferred in
the form of numeric values.
TIP
Since MIDI data that can be
transmitted or received varies
depending on the type of MIDI
device, check the “MIDI Imple-
mentation Chart” to find out
what MIDI data and commands
your devices can transmit or
receive. The Clavinova’s MIDI
Implementation Chart appears
on page 38.
