7.18.1 What is MIDI?
MIDI stands for ‘Musical Instrument Digital Interface’ and represents the standard
interface between a computer and electronic instruments. You can use the USB port
or the MIDI output socket of the digital piano for transferring MIDI data to a com‐
puter or other USB device.
7.18.2 USB connection
1. Connect the USB port of the digital piano using a standard USB cable (not
included) to the USB port on your computer.
Use a current operating system still supported by the provider to
avoid technical diculties.
2. Observe the following instructions when connecting USB instruments to com‐
puters. Otherwise, the instrument or the computer may ‘crash’, which can
result in data loss. If a ‘crash’ should occur, turn o computer and instrument
and restart both after a few seconds.
If the computer is in standby or hibernation, wake the computer
before connecting the USB cable.
Establish the USB connection between computer and instrument
before turning on the instrument.
7.18.3 MIDI connection
At MIDI connections, the device that controls other devices, is referred to as
the Master. A device that is controlled via MIDI is called Slave. Connect the MIDI
OUT of the master to the MIDI IN of the slave.
