Chapter 13 Midi; Midi Channel; Connecting To A Computer - Kurzweil M-1 User Manual

Chapter 13
MIDI is acronym for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, which is an industry standard
protocol for electronic instruments to communicate with each other.

1. MIDI Channel

A MIDI cable can transmit multiple channels of performance data which is similar to
TV channels. Each channel can be assigned its own voice. Typical MIDI instruments
can play up to 16 channels at the same time which is equivalent to 16 soloists.
NOTE
If you want to use your piano and record your performances with a computer, a
sequencer program must be installed on your computer.

2. Connecting to a Computer

The instrument can be connected to the computer via a USB cable (AB type USB cable
of less than 3 meters).
Connect the USB cable to the USB Type B terminal of the instrument, then to the USB
Type A terminal of the computer.
