MIDI Functions
By using the MIDI functions you can expand your musical possibilities. This section explains what MIDI is, and what it can do, as
well as how you can use MIDI on your instrument.
MIDI is an acronym that stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface,
which allows electronic musical instruments to communicate with each
other, by sending and receiving compatible Note, Control Change,
Program Change and various other types of MIDI data, or messages.
The instrument can control a MIDI device by transmitting note related
data and various types of controller data. The instrument can be
controlled by the incoming MIDI messages which automatically
determine tone generator mode, select MIDI channels, voices and
effects, change parameter values and of course play the voices
specified for the various parts.
MIDI messages can be divided into two groups: Channel messages
and System messages.
What's MIDI?
MIDI Terminals
MIDI Connection
The electronic keyboard is equipped with a standard USB interface instead of
conventional MIDI IN and MIDI out connectors. The USB interface allows the
keyboard to be connected to a computer without the need to separately
purchase a MIDI interface for the computer. Most computers will automatically
recognize the keyboard as a MIDI interface, allowing MIDI messages to be
received from, or sent to, music programs running on the computer.
To connect the keyboard to a computer you will need a standard USB A-B cable
and suitable software such a music sequencing program.
Note:
Activate the computer from a sleep/suspended/standby mode before
connecting the USB cable.
Connect the USB cable to the instrument and a computer before
turning the power of the instrument on.

Problem
The speakers produce a “pop” sound whenever
the power is turned ON or OFF.
No sound results when the keyboard is played.
When using a mobile phone, noise is produced.
The auto accompaniment does not play back
even Sync is in standby condition and a key is
pressed.
Possible Cause and Solution
This is normal and is no cause for alarm.
Make sure the master volume is set at appropriate levels.
Using a mobile phone in close proximity to the instrument may
produce interference. To prevent this, turn off the mobile phone or
use it further away from the instrument.
You may be trying to start accompaniment by playing a key in the
right-hand range of the keyboard. To start the accompaniment with
Sync Start, make sure to play a key in the left-hand range of the
keyboard.
