Connecting MIDI Instruments

NP-30/YNP-25

 

Owner’s Manual

The NP-30/YNP-25 features MIDI IN/OUT terminals, allowing you to connect the NP-30/YNP-25 to 
other instruments and devices—including computers—and take advantage of the various perfor-
mance and recording capabilities in MIDI applications.

Use MIDI cables to connect external MIDI devices to these 
connectors.

MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a standard format for data transmis-
sion/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 NP-30/YNP-25, or control the NP-30/YNP-25 from a connected MIDI 
device or computer.

MIDI functions enable you to transfer performance data between MIDI devices.

Before connecting the instrument to other electronic components, turn off the power of all the 
components.

● Transferring MIDI data to and from a computer

Since MIDI data that can be 
transmitted or received varies 
depending on the type of MIDI 
device, check the “MIDI Imple-
mentation Chart” to find out what 
MIDI data and commands your 
devices can transmit or receive. 
The MIDI Implementation Chart 
appears on page 32.

You cannot transmit the voice 
demo songs and the piano preset 
songs from the NP-30/YNP-25 to 
another MIDI device.

For MIDI connections, use a stan-
dard (optional) MIDI cable, avail-
able at most musical instrument 
stores.
