About MIDI
In order to transfer MIDI data, a pair of commercially avail-
able MIDI cables is required.
The MIDI Out of the G1/G1 Air sends data to the MIDI In
of the other MIDI Device. The MIDI In of the G1/G1 Air re-
ceives MIDI data being sent from the MIDI Out of the other
device.
Fordetailsonthedatathatcanbetransmiedandreceived,
refer to the following compatibility table and the MIDI im-
plementation chart.

01 Light. Loud notes can be produced even by playing
lightly.
02 Normal.(defaultseing)
03 Heavy. Loud notes can be produced only by play-
ing very hard.
04 Stable. Sensitivity variations are reduced, and a
relatively stable sound is produced.
05 Steady. Steady notes are produced, like with an or-
gan, regardless of the force used to press the key.

Temperament types
Display Temperament
01 Equal temperament (default seing):
Spacing all semitones at equal pitch intervals,
this temperament is the most widely used.
02 Pure temperament [major]: Major chords in the
key (C) are perfectly tuned.
03 Pure temperament [minor]: Minor chords in the
key (C) are perfectly tuned.
04 Arabic: This scale includes the quarter-tone inter-
vals used in Arabic music.
05 Pythagorean: This ancient Greek scale is espe-
ciallyeectiveforplayingmelodies.Itconsistsof
perfectfths;however,otherintervals–themajor
third in particular – is out of tune.
06 Werckmeister: The Werckmeister III scale was
created in the later Baroque period to allow rela-
tively free transposition.
07 Kirnberger: The Kirnberger III scale is used main-
ly for tuning harpsichords.
08 Slendro scale: This is an Indonesian gamelan
scalewithvenotesperoctave.
09 Pelog scale: This is an Indonesian gamelan scale
with seven notes per octave.
About stretched tuning
In order to produce the most natural resonance, piano
sounds use a “stretched tuning” that makes the notes of the
lower rangeslightlyaer than equal temperament,and
the upper range slightly sharper. This is how an acoustic
piano is normally tuned by professional tuners.
