MIDI Functions

By using the MIDI functions you can expand your musical possibilities. This section explains what MIDI is, and what it can do, as
well as how you can use MIDI on your instrument.

What's MIDI?

MIDI (short for Musical Instrument Digital Interface) allows a wide
variety of electronic musical instruments, computers and other related
devices to connect and communicate with one another. MIDI carries
event messages that specify notation, pitch and velocity, control
signals for parameters such as volume, vibrato, audio panning, and
program change information to change the voice selections.
The instrument can output the real-time playback information via
messages and control external MIDI devices. The instrument can also
accept incoming MIDI messages and generate sound accordingly.

MIDI Terminals

MIDI Connection
The electronic keyboard is equipped with a standard USB interface
instead of conventional MIDI IN and MIDI out connectors. The USB
interface allows the keyboard to be connected to a computer without
the need to separately purchase a MIDI interface for the computer.
Most computers will automatically recognize the keyboard as a MIDI
interface, allowing MIDI messages to be received from, or sent to,
music programs running on the computer.
To connect the keyboard to a computer you will need a standard USB
A-B cable and suitable software such a music sequencing program.
Note:
Activate the computer from a sleep/suspended/standby mode before
connecting the USB cable.
Connect the USB cable to the instrument and a computer before
turning the power of the instrument on.
