About MIDI

MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a standard format for data transmission/reception. It enables the transfer of performance data and commands between MIDI devices and personal computers.

Using MIDI, you can control a connected MIDI device from the Clavi- nova, or control the Clavinova from a connected MIDI device or com- puter.
