What's MIDI?
MIDI(Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is the international standard for digital communication of electronic musical
instrument data.
This means that any equipment that has a MIDI terminal (such as electronic musical instruments or personal computers ) can
easily exchange digital data with other MIDI equipment without complicated conversions or connections.
Connecting a computer
(USB Terminal)
By connecting a computer to the USB, you can transfer data between the instrument and the
computer via MIDI, and take advantage of sophisticated computer music programs. Keep in
mind that you also need to install an appropriate USB MIDI driver.
The instructions below explain how to connect and use the terminals.
CAUTION
This instrument cannot be connected with both USB terminal and MIDI Terminals.
CAUTION

Precautions when using the USB terminal.
When connecting the computer to the USB terminal, make sure to observe the following points. Failing to do so risks
freezing the computer and corrupting or losing data. If the computer or the instrument freezes, turn the power to the
instrument off and restart the computer.
Before connecting the computer to the USB terminal, exit from any power-saving mode of the computer (such as
suspended, sleep, standby), and quit any open application software, also turns off the power to the instrument.
Execute the following before turning the power to the instrument off or unplugging the USB cable to/from the
instrument/computer.
- Quit any open application software on the computer.
- Make sure that data is not being transmitted from the instrument. (Data is transmitted only by playing notes on the
keyboard or playing back a song.)
