By using MIDI cables and connecting to an external MIDI device (keyboard, sequencer, etc.) or a computer,
you can control the MIDI device from the instrument or control the instrument from the MIDI device.
• MIDI [IN]: Receives MIDI messages from another MIDI device.
• MIDI [OUT]: Transmits MIDI messages generated by the instrument to another MIDI device.
• MIDI [THRU]: Simply relays the MIDI messages received at MIDI IN.
The MIDI settings such as transmit/receive channels on the instrument can be set via [Menu] [MIDI]. For
details, refer to the Reference Manual on the website (page 9).
NOTE
• For a general overview of MIDI and how you can effectively use it, refer to “MIDI Basics” on the website (page 9).
• For information on setting up your sequence software, refer to the owner’s manual of the relevant software.
• When transmitting MIDI data from this instrument to an external MIDI device, unexpected sounds may occur because of data related to
the Grand Expression Modeling (page 53).
By connecting with an external monitor such as a television, you can duplicate the instrument display

display cable which are compatible with both this instrument and the monitor to connect to the [USB TO
DEVICE] terminal of this instrument. For a list of compatible USB display adaptors, visit the following
