Connections
MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a global communication standard for electronic musical instruments. This allows sending and receiving compatible note and program changes and other types of MIDI data.
MIDI IN: Receives MIDI data from other midi devices.
MIDI OUT: Sends MIDI data to other midi devices.
The output sockets provide signal levels for external amplifiers. Use both output socket for stereo output or only the left socket for mono sound.
You can connect a sustain pedal or a double pedal to the digital piano.
Make sure that the digital piano is switched off, before connecting the pedal.
By default the pedal affects the sound of the note after being played. To toggle the operation mode of the pedal (NO or NC), keep the pedal pressed when switching the piano on.
You can play this digital piano with a sustain pedal. This adds sustain to notes after the key has been released. A soft pedal can be used optionally.
Double pedal (optional)
Headphones
DC 12 V input socket
You can play this digital piano with a double pedal. The wooden stand (item no.
265835) is already equipped with 2 pedals.
Soft pedal (left): Step on the soft pedal to attenuate the notes played.
Sustain pedal (right): Pressing the sustain pedal adds sustain to notes after the key has been released.
When plugging in headphones the speakers will be muted. Thus, the sound is only played from the headphones.
Connect the supplied power supply unit here. Only use the power supply unit, that was provided with the piano.

MIDI connections
MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is the standard interface for electronic musical instruments and computers to communicate, control and synchronize with each other. MIDI transmissions consist of digital codes, that contain information about which notes are played on which instrument, in which pitch, intensity and duration, as well as control codes for volume, vibrato, entry, and time signature.
This digital piano is because of its many features ideally suited to be used as a MIDI device or controller.
You can connect the digital piano to other MIDI devices as required.
MIDI channels
Multitimbral mode
The MIDI system offers 16 channels, each assigned to a voice. If the instrument receives MIDI data from an external device, the active channel is determined by the control message.
The transmission channels are predefined as follows:
6

Split voice (keyboard)
Layer voice (keyboard)
Track 1, playback, main voice
Track 1, playback, split voice

Track 2, playback, split voice
The piano can receive MIDI information on up to 16 channels at a time. If you plan to use your digital piano with a MIDI multitrack recording system, you can record up to
16 different parts, and reproduce the different voices on different MIDI channels. To ensure that your recorded part is played with the correct voice, first press the button for the voice and then play your part.

Sending MIDI program changes
MIDI functions
There are two ways to send MIDI program changes. You can either send a single spe‐ cific program number (rotary control knob assignment remains unchanged), or you can assign the data control to the rotary control, so that MIDI program changes are sent.
n Sending a single specific program number (rotary control knob assignment remains unchanged)
Press the [FUNCTION] button, to enter edit mode.
Press the piano key F # 5.
Enter the program number you want to send using the keys for numeric input.
As an alternative to entering via the function keys for numeric inputs, you can select the MIDI program number in this step aslo using the rotary con‐ trol [DATA CONTROL].

MIDI program change will be sent. The display shows the current MIDI program number (0 - 127), e.g. .
Please note the difference to button F # 5, that you use to enter a single MIDI program number.
There are two ways to send bank LSB (Least Significant Byte) changes. You can either send a single specific LSB (rotary control knob assignment remains unchanged), or you can assign the data control to the rotary control, so that bank LSB changes are sent. Please note, that after any kind of bank LSB changes usually a MIDI program change message has to be sent in order to execute a sound change on the receiving device.

If you activate the reset function by simultaneously pressing the [TRANSPOSE] and
[OCTAVE] buttons, the digital piano carries out the following procedures:
1.
Turning on internal sound generator.
2.
Sending All Notes Off command on MIDI channel 1 (external) and to the internal sound generator.
3.
Sending Reset All Controllers command on MIDI channel 1 (external) and to the internal sound generator..
4.
Assigning metronome tempo control function to [DATA CONTROL] rotary button.
5.
Volume reset to default value for main voice, split voice, and layer voice volume.
6.
Setting pan function for main voice, split voice, and layer voice.
7.
Turning off layer mode and split mode.
8.
Setting main MIDI send channel to 1.
9.
Resetting transpose and octave shift function to 0.
10. Sending Program Change = 0 to channel 1.
11. Sending Bank Change MSB = 0 and Bank Change LSB = 0 to channel 1.
12. Resetting effect depth for reverb to the default setting for the main voice.
13. Resetting effect depth for chorus to the default setting for the main voice.
14. Sending the current state of the sustain pedal on channel 1.
Performing a factory reset will clear the settings of all functions of the digital piano that were previously stored by the user and restore all functions to their factory defaults. Thus, the piano is in the same condition as when you used it for the first time. Please note that anything you have recorded in the song recorder will be erased by this procedure!
