MIDI
What is MIDI?
MIDI (for "Musical Instrument Digital Interface") is an internationally
recognized standard that enables electronic instruments, computers,
sequencers, and other such devices to communicate with one another. The
MIDI standard supports transmission of various types of performance-
related data.

How Can I Use It?
Your piano's MIDI capability allows you to control the piano from external
devices, and to control external devices from the piano. You can connect the
piano to sequencers and other MIDI devices to create and play complex
ensemble performances.
Connections
MIDI devices communicate through commercially available MIDI cables.
These cables connect to MIDI jacks on each device. Your piano is equipped
with two MIDI jacks, a MIDI OUT jack and a MIDI IN jack.

MIDI OUT MIDI IN
MIDI IN Receives MIDI information from external MIDI devices
(keyboards, sequencers. etc.). This information can be used
to control the piano in various ways: to play notes, to
change sounds, to adjust effects, and so on. To make the
connection: Connect one end of a MIDI cable to the MIDI
IN jack on the piano, and the other end to the MIDI OUT
jack of the relevant external MIDI device.
MIDI OUT Transmits control information from the piano to external
MIDI devices. For example, this connection makes it
possible to use the piano's keyboard to play sound from a
remote device. To make the connection: Connect one end
of a MIDI cable to the MIDI OUT jack on the piano, and
the other end to the MIDI IN jack of the relevant external
MIDI device.
