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-88W 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 foot pedal included with your digital piano will cause piano key sounds to
decay slowly as if they were being held down. A piano-style pedal may optionally
be used. The jack will auto-detect the polarity of the sustain pedal.

Ensure the piano is turned off before connecting the pedal. Otherwise, it will
affect the piano sound.
As standard, the pedal will affect the note playing after pressed. To change
