MIDI functions
MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is the standard interface for electronic
musical instruments and computers to communicate, control and synchronize with
each other. MIDI transmissions consist of digital codes, that contain information
about which notes are played on which instrument, in which pitch, intensity and
duration, as well as control codes for volume, vibrato, entry, and time signature.
This digital piano is because of its many features ideally suited to be used as a MIDI
device or controller.
You can connect the digital piano to other MIDI devices as required.
The MIDI system offers 16 channels, each assigned to a voice. If the instrument
receives MIDI data from an external device, the active channel is determined by the
control message.
The transmission channels are predefined as follows:
Channel Assignment
1 Main voice (keyboard)
2 Split voice (keyboard)
3 Layer voice (keyboard)
4 Track 1, playback, main voice
5 Track 1, playback, split voice
6 Track 1, playback, layer voice
7 Track 2, playback, main voice
8 Track 2, playback, split voice
The piano can receive MIDI information on up to 16 channels at a time. If you plan to
use your digital piano with a MIDI multitrack recording system, you can record up to
16 different parts, and reproduce the different voices on different MIDI channels. To
ensure that your recorded part is played with the correct voice, first press the button
for the voice and then play your part.
