MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a world-standard interface for

sary for MIDI connection between the instrument and a USB-equipped computer.

musical instrument store, computer store or electrical appliance store.

If you use the UX16 interface, install the driver supplied with the interface on your

computer.

MIDI settings such as Local Control are made in the Function settings (page 29
