Using MIDI
What is MIDI?
The letters MIDI stand for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, which is the name of a worldwide standard for digital signals and connectors that makes it possible to exchange musical data between musical instruments and computers (machines) produced by different manufacturers.
MIDI Connections
To use a computer or other MIDI device to record and playback the MIDI data produced by this keyboard, you must connect the MIDI IN and MIDI OUT terminals of both devices in order to send and receive data.
There is a third MIDI terminal named MIDI THRU, which passes any MIDI messages received by the MIDI IN terminal on to another device.

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.
