that is also supplying power to electric
engines or big domestic appliances. Always
avoid connecting too many electric devices
to the same power socket.

sound source, for example a CD-Player,
may be connected to the piano. This makes

The sustain pedal (right) functions as a
damper pedal controlling sustain. Press
the pedal to sustain notes after the keys
are released.
The sostenuto pedal (middle) will sustain
notes played when the pedal is pressed
down. Notes played afterwards will not be
sustained (This is also known as “selective sustain”).
The soft pedal (left) controls tone volume. Press down the pedal to decrease the
volume. Release the pedal to return to normal volume.

19. MIDI
MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a
world-standard communication interface that
allows MIDI compatible musical instruments
and equipment to share musical information
and control one another.
This makes it possible to create systems
of MIDI instruments and equipment that offer
far greater versatility and control than is
available with isolated instruments.
The MIDI IN jack on the Piano can receive MIDI data from an external MIDI device that
can be used to control your digital piano. The MIDI OUT jack transmits MIDI data
generated by the Digital Piano (e. g. note and velocity data produced by playing the
instrument). When connecting MIDI compatible instruments, always connect the MIDI
OUT jack of one instrument to the MIDI IN of the other.
Never connect the two MIDI jacks of
the same instrument. This Digital Piano
transmits note and velocity (touch
response) information via the MIDI
OUT connector whenever a note is
played on the keyboard. If the MIDI
OUT connector of the Piano is
connected to the MIDI IN connector
of a second instrument (synthesizer
etc), that instrument will respond
precisely to the notes played on the Piano.
The result is that you can play two (or more) instruments at once, creating multi-
instrumental sounds. The Digital Piano also transmits “program change” data when one
of its voices is selected. Depending on how the receiving MIDI device is set up, the
corresponding voice of that device will be automatically selected whenever a voice is
selected on this Piano.
The Piano is, of course, also capable of receiving MIDI data. A second MIDI keyboard
connected to the MIDI IN jack of the piano can be used to remotely play and select
voices as required on the Piano.
20. USB jack
The USB jack of your piano may be connected to a computer. The required operation
®
system would be Microsoft Windows XP or later only. By using an appropriate software
you may edit the data from your piano with your computer.
