About MIDI

MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a standard format for data transmis-sion/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 NP-30/YNP-25, or control the NP-30/YNP-25 from a connected MIDI device or computer.

MIDI’s Capability

MIDI functions enable you to transfer performance data between MIDI devices.

CAUTION

Before connecting the instrument to other electronic components, turn off the power of all the components.
