M I D I

MIDI stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface. This is a world wide standard commu-
nication interface that enables electronic musical instruments and computers (of all brands)
to communicate with each other so that instructions and other data can pass between
them. This exchange of information makes it possible to create a system of MIDI instru-
ments and devices that offers far greater versatility and control than is available with iso-
lated instruments. Whether you interface with computers, sequencers, expanders or other
keyboards your musical horizons will be greatly enhanced. For further information on MIDI
and MIDI equipment that is available, please contact your local Suzuki music store.
MIDI CONNECTION - The MIDI terminals are located on the rear panel of the piano.
1. MIDI In: This terminal receives MIDI data from an external MIDI device.
2. MIDI Out: This terminal transmits data from this instrument to other MIDI devices.
The transmitted data includes the note and touch velocity produced while playing on
the keyboard, as well as voice changes, wheel operation, and recorded playback for
the melody tracks. Demo songs and auto accompaniment are not transmitted.
MIDI CHANNELS - The MIDI system in this unit has 16 channels numbered from 1-16.
Each of the channels is responsible for a voice. When the instrument receives from
an external device, the active channel is determined by the control message. The
transmission channels on this keyboard are fixed as follows:
Channel 1: Master voice
Channel 2: Layer voice
Channel 3: Split voice
Channel 4: Bass in manual bass chord mode
Channel 7: Chord in manual bass chord mode
Channel 10: Percussion sound
For more detailed information regarding transmitted MIDI data please see the MIDI
Implementation Chart.
