Connecting MIDI Instruments

Your digital piano features MIDI jacks. Using the MIDI functions enables

you to access a variety of musical genres.

Since MIDI data that can be

transmitted or received varies

depending on the type of MIDI

device, check the “MIDI Imple-

mentation Chart” to ﬁnd out

what MIDI data and commands

your devices can transmit or

receive. This instrument’s MIDI

Implementation Chart appears

on page 44.

You need a dedicated MIDI

cable (optional) to make a MIDI

connection. You can purchase

MIDI cables at musical instru-

ment stores.

If you connect a very long MIDI

cable, data transmission errors

may result. Use a MIDI cable of

15 meters or less.

Before connecting a MIDI

device to this instrument, ﬁrst

turn off the power to both this

instrument and the MIDI device.

After connecting them, turn on

the power to the MIDI device

ﬁrst, then turn on the power to

this instrument.

You cannot transmit the voice

demo songs and the 50 piano

preset songs from this instru-

ment to another MIDI device.

For more information on the

transmission and reception of

song data, refer to “Transmitting

Song Data between the Com-

puter and the Digital Piano” on

page 31.

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.

MIDI’s Capability

MIDI functions enable you to transfer performance data between MIDI

devices, load song data from a connected computer to your instru-

ment, and transmit and save user song data to a computer.
