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.
