SETTINg UP YOUR COMPUTER FOR MIDI
The USB cable functions as a bidirectional MIDI cable, allowing you to
record and playback your performance using MIDI sequencing software
(not included).
MIDI is a protocol consisting of data messages that are used to control
synthesizers, sound modules, keyboards, or software “virtual instruments.”
MIDI messages contain instructions such as what note to play, when to play
it, and which sound to play.
When connected to your computer via USB, the Keyboard MIDI ports
will appear in the “MIDI Devices” (Mac) or “Sounds and Audio Devices”
(PC), indicating that a valid connection has been made. Refer to your
MIDI sequencing software manual to learn how to record and play back
MIDI sequences.
The USB cable functions as a bidirectional MIDI cable. The MIDI Input allows you
to use other MIDI controllers such as another keyboard, extra knobs or drum pads.
The MIDI Output sends data from the keyboard, wheels and knobs.
The MIDI Input and Output jacks also function as a MIDI interface, allowing other
MIDI devices to be connected to your computer.
