MIDI CONNECTION

The MIDI terminal is located on the left side of the piano, under the key-bed. For more information

regarding transmitted MIDI data please see the MIDI implementation chart at the back of this manual. 

The MIDI Local, USB MIDI In and the MIDI Out are turned adjusted using the Function menu. 

Please see the Function section of this manual for more information.

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. 

LOCAL ON/OFF  

This function allows you to turn on or off the speaker system of the piano, local is the MIDI Channel 

message that sets whether your keyboard is going to trigger its internal sounds (Local ON) or not

(Local OFF). Normally, playing on the keyboard generates sound while it sends MIDI messages via

the MIDI connector or USB. This mode is called Local On. You can mute the piano sounds while still

sending out the MIDI messages. This mode is called Local Off. Turning the Local On/Off function 

to off, will disconnect the keyboard from the internal sound engine of the piano. This means you

can use the piano as a MIDI controller to control other MIDI devices or virtual instrument software 

running on your computer without playing the internal sounds of the piano. 

You may also find other occasions such as when you are using MIDI sequencing software on your 

computer, where it is useful to turn the Local Off. Local On/Off is found in the Function menu.

Please see the Function section of this manual for more information.

MIDI stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface. This is a worldwide standard communication interface

that enables electronic musical instruments and computers of all brands to communicate with each other

so that 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 keyboards, your musical

horizons will be greatly enhanced.  

If you are an advanced MIDI user, this section will help you to access the MIDI controller capabilities of the

piano.  If you already know that you need this specialized functionality, then this section is for you. However,

this information is not necessary in order to enjoy playing the piano.
