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 communicate 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 oers far greater versatility and
control than is available with isolated instruments. Whether you interface with computers, sequencers,
expanders or other pianos your Suzuki piano’s technical capabilities, and your musical horizons will be
greatly enhanced.
MIDI Connection
The MIDI terminals are located on the bottom of the piano.
MIDI In: This terminal receives MIDI data from an external MIDI device.
MIDI Out: 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 piano, 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’s USB port for MIDI application. Message transmitted and received
through USB is the same as MIDI.
It can connected without driver installation under the Windows and MAC OSX
environment. The piano will be recognized as USB Audio device to receive and
transmit MIDI messages.
MIDI Channels
The MIDI system in this unit has 16 channels numbered 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 piano are xed 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.
Basic MIDI Setups
Output to an external sound generator – MIDI pianos transmit note and velocity
(touch sensitivity) information via the MIDI Out connector. Connect the MIDI
Out terminal of the piano and the MIDI IN terminal of an external device, piano,
synthesizer, or sound module, and the external device should respond to your
playing.
