MIDI FUNCTIONS
WHAT IS MIDI?
No doubt you have heard the terms----acoustic instruments and digital instruments. In the
world today, these are the two main categories of musical instruments. Let's consider an
acoustic piano and a classical guitar as representative acoustic instruments. They are
easy to understand. With the piano, you strike a key, and a hammer inside hits some
strings and plays a note. With guitars, you directly pluck a string and the note sounds. But
how do digital instruments go about playing a note?
As shown in the pictures above, in digital instruments, the sample notes (reserved notes)
stored in the tone generator section (electronic circuit) can be played when the
information on the keyboard is collected. Then what is the information on the keyboard?
For instance, if you use W660 to play a C quarter note, unlike an acoustic instrument that
puts out a resonated note, it puts out information from the keyboard such as with what
voice , wth which key about how strong , and when was it pressed and
when was it released . All the information will be converted to a number value and sent
to the tone generator. Based on these data, the music source will adopt stored sample
note and play it.
Acoustic guitar note production
Pluck a string and the body
resonates the sound.
Digital instrument note production
Based on playing information from the keyboard,
a sampling note stored in the tone generator is
played through the speakers.

MIDI FUNCTION
MIDI is the abbreviation of musical instruments digital interface. It allows the digital
instruments to communicate with each other, by sending and receiving compatible
notes, control change and program change, and as well as other types of MIDI data
and information.
MIDI is an international standard. It enables all the instruments to connect together,
and allows them to control each other and exchange data. That is, it makes all the
instruments a system, and greatly enlarges its function.
W660 can control MIDI device by transmitting note-related data and various types of
controller data, and also can be controlled by outside MIDI information, which can
automatically decide the music source mode, and choose MIDI track, voice and effect,
and change the parameter and as well as perform the appointed voice.
MIDI Interface
MIDI IN is to receive outside data from other MIDI devices like sequencer in order to
control this instrument; MIDI OUT is to send MIDI data (like the note and touch data)
from this instrument.
REMOTE PASSAGE
To set the MIDI passage to receive outside keyboard data, please select 01-16. The
outside keyboard must set the source passage from which the data is sent and its
MIDI OUT connects this keyboard's MIDI IN by the MIDI cable. When set is OFF, this
keyboard will receive from all the16 tracks. Pressing [-/NO] and [+/YES] buttons at
the same time can retune to the original setting (OFF).
KEYBOARD OUTPUT
To determine whether the data output from the MIDI OUT.
MIDI OUT
MIDI IN
Never use MIDI cables longer than about 15 meters. Cables longer
than this canpick up noise which can causedata errors.
