About MIDI
MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a global format standard for
performance data transmission and reception between electronic musical instruments.
Connecting musical instruments that support MIDI via MIDI cables enables you to
transfer performance and setting data between multiple musical instruments. Using
MIDI, you can also achieve more advanced performances than using just a single
musical instrument.

Use an optional USB-MIDI interface (such as a Yamaha UX16) to connect this
instrument’s MIDI connectors to the computer’s USB port. You also need to install the
USB-MIDI driver on the computer correctly to use the interface. For more
information, refer to the user’s manual that came with the USB interface device.

Since the transmission or reception of
MIDI data can vary depending on the
type of MIDI device, each MIDI device
can transmit or receive only data and
commands that are compatible with
other connected MIDI devices.
Please check the “MIDI Implementation
Chart” on the Data List to find out what
MIDI data and commands your devices
can transmit or receive. Refer to page 5
for the “Data List.”
