Connecting to a Computer

Connecting to the MIDI
Terminal
What is MIDI?
MIDI is a standard for digital signals and connectors
that allows musical instruments, computers, and other
devices, regardless of manufacturer, to exchange data
with each other.

MIDI Connections
Connecting your computer or other external MIDI
device to the digital piano's MIDI THRU/OUT/IN
terminals makes it possible for them to exchange MIDI
messages. You also can playback notes you play on the
digital piano on the connected device.
There is a third MIDI terminal named MIDI THRU,
which passes any MIDI messages received by the
MIDI IN terminal on to another device.

Connecting to the USB Port

The digital piano's USB port makes it quick and simple
to connect to a computer.
You can install a USB MIDI driver from the CD-ROM
that comes bundled with the digital piano onto a
computer equipped with a USB port. After that, you
can connect the digital piano to your computer and run
commercially available MIDI software on your
computer to exchange MIDI data with the digital
piano. You also can use the USB connection to transfer
files you downloaded from the CASIO MUSIC SITE
from your computer to the digital piano.
You will need a commercially available USB cable to
connect a computer to the digital piano's USB port.
