Midi - Sanchez SS-100 Owner's Manual

MIDI

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 instruments and
devices that offers far greater versatility and control than is available with isolated
instruments. Whether you interface with computers, sequencers, expanders or other key-
boards your musical horizons will be greatly enhanced.

MIDI CONNECTION - The MIDI terminals are located on the left side
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.
USB - The USB connector allows you to connect the piano directly to
your computer. It can be connected without driver installation
under the Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 & MAC OSX
environment. The piano will be recognized as a USB Audio de-
vice to receive and transmit the same MIDI messages described
above.
For more information regarding transmitted MIDI data please see the
next page and or the MIDI implementation chart.
