What is MIDI?
The letters MIDI stand for Musical Instrument Digital 
Interface, which is the name of a worldwide standard 
for digital signals and connectors that makes it possible 
to exchange musical data between musical instruments 
and computers (machines) produced by different 
manufacturers.
NOTE
• For detailed information about MIDI 
Implementation, visit the CASIO website at:

.
See “Send channel” and “Local control” on page E-23.
Use the procedures in this section to transfer Recorder 
memory data to a computer for storage, and to load 
songs to user song memory (Music Library 61).
IMPORTANT!
• Turning off the Digital Piano while it is exchanging 
data with a computer can cause data in Digital Piano 
memory to become corrupted. If this happens, a 
memory format operation will start the next time you 
turn on the Digital Piano. Note that it takes about 20 
seconds for the format operation to finish, and you 
will not be able to perform any operation during that 
time.
