MIDI

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 IN/OUT terminals makes it possible
for them to exchange MIDI messages and record and playback
keyboard notes on the connected device.

Simultaneous Receive Over
Multiple Channels (Multi-Timbre)
The Multi-Timbre mode makes it possible to assign the digital
piano's built-in tones to MIDI channels 1 through 16. Then
you can simultaneously sound multiple channels to play from
a commercially available multi-track sequencer.
NOTE
• See "Assigning Tones to Individual Channels" on this
page for details on assigning tones to each channel.
• Up to 16 channels can be received simultaneously
(Channel 1 through channel 16).
• The number of channels to be received simultaneously
cannot be predetermined. If it becomes necessary to
cancel a channel, the cancel operation must be
performed on the sending side.
