MICRO GRAND DIGITAL PI ANO
MIDI
MIDI stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface. This is a world wide standard communication
interface that enables electronic musical instruments and computers (of all brands) to communi-
cate with each other so that instructions and other data can pass between them. This exchange of
information makes it possible to create a system of MIDI instruments and devices that offers far
greater versatility and control than is available with isolated instruments. Whether you interface
with computers, sequencers, expanders or other keyboards your musical horizons will be greatly
enhanced.
MIDI Connection -
The MIDI terminals are located on the left side
panel of the piano.
1. MIDI In: This terminal receives MIDI data from an external MIDI device.
2. MIDI Out: This terminal transmits data from this instrument to other
MIDI devices. The transmitted data includes the note and touch veloc-
ity produced while playing on the keyboard, as well as voice changes,
wheel operation, and recorded playback for the melody tracks. Demo
songs and auto accompaniment are not transmitted.
USB -
The USB connector allows you to connect the piano directly to your
computer. It can be connected without driver installation under the
Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windos 7 & MAC OSX environment. The
piano will be recognized as a USB Audio device to receive and transmit
the same MIDI messages described above.
MIDI Channels -
The MIDI system in this unit has 16 channels num-
bered from 1-16. Each of the channels is responsible for a voice. When
the instrument receives from an external device, the active channel is
determined by the control message. The transmission channels on this
keyboard are fixed as follows:
Channel 1: Master voice
Channel 2: Layer voice
Channel 3: Split voice
Channel 4: Bass in manual bass chord mode
Channel 7: Chord in manual bass chord mode
Channel 10: Percussion sound
Please see the MIDI Implementation Chart for more detail.
Note: If USB cable is connected from the piano to a computer while MIDI
in is also connected to a MIDI device, you should avoid receiving MIDI
message from both computer and MIDI device simultaneously.
