MIDI
MIDI stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface. This is a world wide standard commu-
nication 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 instru-
ments and devices that offers far greater versatility and control than is available with iso-
lated instruments. Whether you interface with computers, sequencers, expanders or other
keyboards your musical horizons will be greatly enhanced. For further information on MIDI
and MIDI equipment that is available, please contact your local Suzuki music store.
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.
Output from an external MIDI devise - Connect the MIDI In
terminal of the piano and the MIDI Out terminal of an external
device. Data generated on another devise can sound on your
piano.
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 trans-
mission 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
