Using MIDI IN/OUT Jack

MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a world-standard communica­tion interface which allows electronic musical instruments to communicate with

types of MIDI data.

MIDI IN Receives MIDI data from another MIDI device.
MIDI OUT Transmits MIDI data to another MIDI device.

the rear panel can be mixed with the sound of the unit. This function is convenient
when you want to play along with a favourite song.

LINE IN

Stereo
System

The Line out jack can be used to deliver the output of the piano to a keyboard
amplifier, stereo sound system, mixing console or tape recorder.

LINE OUT

Stereo
System

Using USB-MIDI

This product allows the transfer of MIDI over USB. There is a specific way in
which the MIDI signals are routed for maximum flexibility. In a standard Digital
Piano, the built-in keyboard sends MIDI signals to the internal sound bank as
well as the 5-pin MIDI output.
In this digital piano, the keyboard not noly sends MIDI to the internal sound
bank (just like normal) but also sends MIDI simultaneously to the internal MIDI
connection which hooks up inside the device to the Audio Interface.
It is the Audio Interface that controls the USB-MIDI.
