About MIDI
MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a standard format for data transmission/
reception. It enables the transfer of performance data and commands between MIDI
devices and personal computers. Using MIDI, you can control a connected MIDI device
from the instrument, or control the instrument from a connected MIDI device or com-
puter.
Depending upon the pedal that is
connected to the SUSTAIN
PEDAL jack, the effect produced
by operating the pedal (ON/OFF,
dynamics, etc.) might be
reversed. If this happens, refer to
the “SUSTAIN PEDAL Type” sec-
tion (page 43).
NOTE

ating the pedal (ON/OFF, dynam-
