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. A good rule to keep in mind is: If you don't know what a function
described in this section is, then you probably don't need it.
MIDI, or Musical Instrument Digital Interface, is the way most electronic keyboards
communicate with computers and with each other. Through a series of MIDI messages a
computer or keyboard can tell an instrument what note to play, how loud to play it, when to
stop playing it, and a host of other information.
The piano can send MIDI information to a computer or another MIDI-capab instrument, via
its MIDI or USB output.
Local On/O󰀨(C#3)
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 nd other occasions (such
as when you are using MIDI sequencing software on your computer) where it is useful to
turn Local o󰀨.
To turn Local On/O󰀨 to O󰀨:
Press the [Function/Right] button to enter Function Mode
Press the Local On/O󰀨 key (C#3)
The LED display will show:
To turn Local On/O󰀨 back on, follow the above procedure again.
