MIDI settings on keyboard 

 
In order to select the registration by MIDI commands from S, the keyboard needs 
some corresponding MIDI settings. 
 
We assume here that the MIDI channel 1 is used to control the keyboard and that the iPad is 
connected to PORT 1 (MIDI A/USB 1/WLAN). If you want to use another MIDI channel or 
another PORT, you need to specify it as needed. 

 

 

 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 

 

 

 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 

 
 

 

 

 

2. Select the 

RECEIVE

 

tab

.

 

 

3. Select at 

PORT 1  CH1

 

the part 

KEYBOARD

 

5. For stable use, you should not send any unnecessary 
MIDI signals to the port where S is connected. 
 
Therefore you should set all to OFF. 
 
But at least you must avoid sending any other Control 
Changes (CC) or Program Changes (PC) to the iPad on 
channel 1 that is used to remote control S. 

4. Select the 

TRANSMIT

 

tab 
 

1. Press the 

FUNCTION

 button on the keyboard, 

then select the 

MIDI

 tab, then press 

EDIT

 to 

enter into the MIDI Setup.

 

Tip: 

Save the MIDI 
settings in the USER 
section e.g. with the 
name S.
