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 OUT/IN terminals
makes it possible for them to exchange MIDI messages
and record and playback keyboard notes on the
connected 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 can also transfer data you
downloaded from the CASIO MUSIC SITE to the
digital piano.
Note that you need to purchase a commercially
available USB cable to connect the digital piano's USB
port to a computer's USB port.
To connect to a computer using the USB
port
1.
On the computer to which you plan to
connect, install the USB MIDI driver from the
CD-ROM that comes bundled with the digital
piano.
NOTE
• Before installing the USB MIDI driver, be sure to read the
contents of the "readme.txt" file in the "English" folder
on the bundled CD-ROM.
• For details about how to install the USB MIDI driver, see
the "CASIO USB MIDI Driver User's Guide"

(manual_e.pdf) that is also on the bundled CD-ROM.
