Using MIDI

What is MIDI?

MIDI is a standard for digital signals and connectors that allows musical instruments, computers, and other devices, regardless of manufacturer, to exchange data with each other.

MIDI Connections

Connecting your computer or other external MIDI device to the digital piano’s MIDI IN/OUT terminals makes it possible for them to exchange MIDI messages and record and playback keyboard notes on the connected device.

Local Control

When Local Control is turned on, pressing the keyboard’s keys plays the notes using the currently selected built-in tone, and also sends the applicable MIDI messages out the MIDI OUT port. Turning off Local Control causes MIDI messages to be sent out the MIDI OUT port, but the nothing is played by the digital piano’s sound source when keys are pressed. This comes in handy when you want to turn off the piano’s keyboard and use its auto accompaniment feature to accompany an external sequencer or other device.
