MIDI Functions
What's MIDI?
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 Terminals
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 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 (not supplied) and suitable
software such a music sequencing program (not
supplied).
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.
