What is MIDI?
MIDI is a standard for digital signals and connectors that
allows musical instruments, computers, and other devices,
regardless of manufacturer, to exchange data with each other.
MIDI Connections
Connecting your computer or other external MIDI device to
the digital piano’s MIDI IN/OUT terminals makes it possible
for them to exchange MIDI messages and record and playback
keyboard notes on the connected device.

Specifying the Keyboard Channel
The keyboard channel is the channel used when sending MIDI
messages to another MIDI device. You can specify any
channel from 1 through 16 as the keyboard channel.
To specify the keyboard channel
1
While holding down the SETTING button, specify
the keyboard channel by pressing one of the
keyboard keys shown in the illustration below.
Example: Channel 8
• A note does not sound when you press a keyboard
key while holding down SETTING.
NOTE
• The keyboard channel is automatically set to 1 whenever
you turn on the digital piano power.
Assigning Tones to Individual
Channels
You can assign tones to channels using a Program Change
message sent from a connected MIDI device. You cannot
change the tone assigned to each channel from the digital
piano.
NOTE
• The GRAND PIANO 1 tone is automatically assigned to
all channels whenever you turn on the digital piano
power.
Simultaneous Receive Over
Multiple Channels (Multi-Timbre)
The Multi-Timbre mode makes it possible to assign the digital
piano’s built-in tones to MIDI channels 1 through 16. Then
you can simultaneously sound multiple channels to play from
a commercially available multi-track sequencer.
NOTE
• See “Assigning Tones to Individual Channels” on this
page for details on assigning tones to each channel.
• Up to 16 channels can be received simultaneously
(Channel 1 through channel 16).
• The number of channels to be received simultaneously
cannot be predetermined. If it becomes necessary to
cancel a channel, the cancel operation must be
performed on the sending side.
