MIDI OUT Jack
MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a world-standard communication interface which allows electronic musical instruments to communicate
with each other, by sending and receiving compatible note, program change
and other types of MIDI data.
This terminal transmits data from this instrument to other MIDI devices. The
transmitted data includes the note and touch velocity produced while playing
on the keyboard, as well as voice changes. Demo songs are not transmitted.
Using USB-MIDI
This piano 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 only sends MIDI signals to the internal
sound bank (just like normal) but also sends MIDI signals simultaneously to the
internal MIDI connection which hooks up inside the device to the Audio Interface.
It is the Audio Interface that is used to control the USB-MIDI.

USB Audio
The PA-88H have USB Audio.
This means that you can plug in via a USB Cable to your Laptop, Tablet, iPad,
and SmartPhone and be able to hear you device's audio through the pianos
speaker system. This is very useful for example when you are recording your
piano with your laptop and want to listen back through the pianos speakers. Or
if you are using some of the instrument voices on the Garage Band app from
your iPad, now you can hear it through the pianos' sound delivery system
instead of just the iPad's speakers or headphones.
Sustain Pedal
The sustain pedal included with the PA-88H will cause piano key sounds to slowly
decay as if they were being held down. A more traditional piano style pedal may
be used also. The Sustain jack will auto-detect the polarity of any sustain pedal
that you use.
SUS TAIN
NOTE
Please make sure that the piano is turned off before connecting the pedal.
Otherwise, it may not be read by the piano correctly.
If you use different sustain pedal and you need to change the polarity for
proper operation, you will need to turn off the piano and then hold down
the foot pedal during power up.
