About MIDI
MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a standard format for data transmission/
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 P-
140, or control the P-140 from a connected MIDI device or computer.

CAUTION

NOTE
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 P-140's MIDI Implementation
Chart appears on page 64.
NOTE
Depending upon the pedal that is
connected to the SUSTAIN
PEDAL jack, the effect produced
by operating the pedal (ON/OFF,
dynamics, etc.) might be
reversed. If this happens, refer to
the "SUSTAIN PEDAL Type" sec-
tion (page 43).
