Connecting External Midi Devices (Midi [In] [Out] Terminals) - Yamaha AVANTGRAND NU1X Owner's Manual

Connections
 Minimizing noise of the input sound via Noise Gate
By default, this instrument cuts unwanted noise from the input sound. However, this
may result in necessary sounds also being cut, such as the soft decay sound of a piano
or guitar. To avoid this, set the Noise Gate to off via the following operation.
While holding down [FUNCTION], press the C#6 key repeatedly to toggle Noise
Gate on and off as needed.
Using an External Stereo System for Playback—AUX OUT [L/L+R] [R] jacks
These jacks let you connect the instrument to external powered speaker systems, for
playing in larger venues at higher volumes.

NOTICE
• To avoid possible damage to the devices, first turn on the power to the instrument, then to the external device. When turning
off the power, first turn off the power to the external device, then to the instrument. Since this instrument's power may auto-
matically be turned off due to the Auto Power Off function (page 13), turn off the power to the external device, or disable Auto
Power Off when you do not intend to operate the instrument. If the instrument's power is automatically turned off via the Auto
Power Off function, first turn off the external device, then turn on the power to the instrument then the external device again.
• When the AUX OUT jacks are connected to an external device, never connect the [AUX IN] jacks to the output jacks of the
external device. Doing so could result in feedback (oscillation) that may damage both the devices.

Connecting External MIDI Devices (MIDI [IN] [OUT] terminals)

MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a global format standard for
performance data transmission and reception between electronic musical
instruments. Connecting musical instruments that support MIDI via MIDI
cables enables you to transfer performance and setting data between multiple
musical instruments. Using MIDI, you can also achieve more advanced per-
formances than using just a single musical instrument.
