You can connect the MIDI terminals of this instru-
ment to the USB terminal on the computer via an
optional USB-MIDI interface device (such as the
Yamaha UX16). To do this, you need to install the
USB-MIDI driver to the computer. For more informa-
tion, refer to the manual that came with the USB-
MIDI interface device.
NOTICE
• When connecting the instrument to a computer, first turn
off the power to the instrument, and then exit any open
applications on the computer before connecting any
cables. After making all connections, turn on the power to
the instrument.
NOTE
• When the instrument is used as a tone module, performance data with Voices
that are not found on the instrument will not be played correctly.
• You must install an appropriate software application on the computer to be able
to transmit performance data between the instrument and a computer.

MIDI Settings

Setting the MIDI Transmit Channels
In any MIDI control setup, the MIDI channels of the
transmitting and receiving devices must be matched
for proper data transfer. You can specify the channel
on which this instrument transmits MIDI data. To do
this, while holding down [GRAND PIANO/FUNC-
TION], press one of the D6 – E6 keys. The D6 key
decreases the value by 1, the D#6 key increases the
value by 1, and the E6 key restores the default value
(channel 1).
NOTE
• The setting range is from 1 – 16.
• The default value is 1.
NOTE
• In Dual, the keyboard performance via Voice 1 is transmitted on the specified
MIDI Transmit Channel and the keyboard performance via Voice 2 is transmitted
on the next channel number in sequence (specified channel + 1).
NOTE
• No MIDI messages are output during playback of the Demo Song or Preset
Song.
