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 Implementation Chart" to find out what MIDI data and commands your devices can transmit or receive. If you connect a very long MIDI cable, data transmission errors may result. 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. 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 OUT IN MIDI's Capability MIDI functions enable you to transfer performance data between MIDI devices, load song data from a connected computer to your instrument, and transmit and save user song data to a computer. Transferring performance data to and from another MIDI device MIDI OUT connector POWER MIDI IN connector You cannot transmit the voice demo songs and the 50 piano preset songs from this instrument to another MIDI device.
