MIDI Data Notes

This section provides details about the MIDI data this digital piano sends and receives. You can also find further technical information in the “MIDI Data Format” and “MIDI Implementation Chart”* at the end of this User’s Guide.

*The MIDI Implementation Chart is a standard format summary of how data is transferred between this digital piano and a connected MIDI device.

Keyboard Data (Note On, Note Off,

Note Number, Velocity)

The following four types of keyboard data can be sent and received.

Data

Note On

Keyboard key is pressed.

Note Off

Tone Change Data (Program Change)

Whenever you change the tone on the digital piano, tone change data (Program Change) is also sent out as MIDI data. Conversely, receipt of a Program Change from a connected MIDI device causes the digital piano to change to the applicable tone. See “Program Change Number Settings” on page E-23 for details.

Pedal and Effect Operation Data

(Control Change and Universal System

Exclusive Message)

Control Change is used to send and receive data about damper, soft, and sostenuto pedal* depress and release operations, as well as data about digital effects.

*You can connect up to two pedals to this digital piano. You can also specify either soft or sostenuto as the effect of the pedal connected to the SOFT/SOSTENUTO jack. Pressing a pedal connected to the SOFT/SOSTENUTO jack sends data that corresponds to the effect (soft or sostenuto) currently selected for the pedal.
