MIDI Functions
By using the MIDI functions you can expand your musical possibilities. This section explains what MIDI is, and what
it can do, as
well as how you can use
MIDI
on
your
instrument
.
MIDI is an acronym that stands for Musical Instrument Digital
Interface,
which allows electronic musical instruments to
communicate with each
other, by sending and receiving
compatible Note, Control Change,
Program Change and
various other types of MIDI data, or messages.
The instrument can control a MIDI device by transmitting note
related
data and various types of controller data. The
instrument can be
controlled by the incoming MIDI messages
which automatically
determine tone generator mode, select
MIDI channels, voices and
effects, change parameter values
and of course play the voices
specified for the various parts.
MIDI messages can be divided into two groups: Channel
messages
and System messages.

MIDI Terminals
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
and suitable software such a music sequencing program.
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.
