instruments to
communicate with each other, by sending
and receiving
compatible Note, Control Change, Program
Change and
various other types of MIDI
data
or

.
The instrument can control a MIDI
device

mode, select
MIDI

,
change
parameter
values
and of course play the voices specified
for the various parts.
MIDI
messages
can
be
divided

messages and System messages.
MIDI Connection
The electronic keyboard is equipped with a standard
USB interface instead of conventional MIDI IN and MIDI
out connectors. The USB interface allows the keyboard
to be connected to a computer without the need to
separately purchase a MIDI interface for the computer.
Most computers will automatically recognize the
keyboard as a MIDI interface, allowing MIDI messages to
be received from, or sent to, music programs running on
the computer.
To connect the keyboard to a computer you will need a
standard USB A-B cable (not supplied) and suitable
software such a music sequencing program (not
supplied).
Note:
Activate the computer from a sleep/suspended/standby
mode before connecting the USB cable.
Connect the USB cable to the instrument and a
computer before turning the power of the instrument on.
