USB Mode and MIDI Mode

Your digital piano has two data communication modes: a USB mode and a MIDI mode.

The digital piano will enter the USB mode automatically whenever a connection is established between it and the USB driver running on a connected computer. If there is no computer connected to the USB port, the digital piano will enter the MIDI mode.

zUSB Mode

USB enabled

The above indicator appears for about three seconds after a USB connection is established. For details about using the MIDI device functions in the USB mode, see the “CASIO USB MIDI Driver User’s Guide” (manual_e.pdf) on the bundled CD-ROM.

zMIDI Mode

USB disabled

The above indicator appears for about three seconds after a USB connection terminated. The MIDI mode is used when sending and receiving data over the digital piano’s MIDI terminals.
