About MIDI

MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a global format standard for

performance data transmission and reception between electronic musical instruments.

Connecting musical instruments that support MIDI via MIDI cables enables you to

transfer performance and setting data between multiple musical instruments. Using

MIDI, you can also achieve more advanced performances than using just a single

musical instrument.

Connecting this instrument to a computer using the MIDI connectors enables you to

transfer MIDI data between the instrument and the computer. For example,

performance data of this instrument can be sent to and saved on the computer.

Use an optional USB-MIDI interface (such as a Yamaha UX16) to connect this

instrument’s MIDI connectors to the computer’s USB port. You also need to install the

USB-MIDI driver on the computer correctly to use the interface. For more

information, refer to the user’s manual that came with the USB interface device.

You need a dedicated MIDI cable

(optional) to make a MIDI connection.

Since the transmission or reception of

MIDI data can vary depending on the

type of MIDI device, each MIDI device

can transmit or receive only data and

commands that are compatible with

other connected MIDI devices.

Please check the “MIDI Implementation

Chart” on the Data List to ﬁnd out what

MIDI data and commands your devices

can transmit or receive. Refer to page 5

for the “Data List.”

Voice demo and piano preset song data

are not transmitted via MIDI.

Receives MIDI data. Transmits MIDI data.

Connecting to a Computer

You must install a software application

on the computer to be able to transfer

MIDI data between this instrument and a

computer.

When connecting the instrument to a computer, ﬁrst turn off the power to both the instrument and the com-

puter before connecting any cables. After making connections, turn on the power to the computer ﬁrst, then

to the instrument.
