What is MIDI?
MIDI is a standard for digital signals and connectors 
that allows musical instruments, computers, and other 
devices, regardless of manufacturer, to exchange data 
with each other.

MIDI Connections
Connecting your computer or other external MIDI 
device to the digital piano’s MIDI OUT/IN terminals 
makes it possible for them to exchange MIDI messages. 
You also can playback notes you play on the digital 
piano on the connected device.

You can use the procedure in “Other Settings” (page 
E-24) to configure MIDI settings. See page E-26 for a 
description of the settings and information about how 
to configure them.
The digital piano’s USB port makes it quick and simple 
to connect to a computer.
You can install a USB MIDI driver from the CD-ROM 
that comes bundled with the digital piano onto a 
computer equipped with a USB port. After that, you 
can connect the digital piano to your computer and run 
commercially available MIDI software on your 
computer to exchange MIDI data with the digital 
piano. You also can use the USB connection to transfer 
files you downloaded from the CASIO MUSIC SITE 
from your computer to the digital piano.
You will need a commercially available USB cable to 
connect a computer to the digital piano’s USB port.
