Connecting to a Computer

What is MIDI?

MIDI is a standard for digital signals and connectors
that allows musical instruments, computers, and other
devices, regardless of manufacturer, to exchange data
with each other.

NOTE

MIDI Connections

Connecting your computer or other external MIDI
device to the digital piano’s MIDI OUT/IN terminals
makes it possible for them to exchange MIDI messages.
You also can playback notes you play on the digital
piano on the connected device.

MIDI Settings

You can use the procedure in “Other Settings” (page
E-32) to configure MIDI settings. See page E-34 for a
description of the settings and information about how
to configure them.

The digital piano’s USB port makes it quick and simple
to connect to a computer.
You can install a USB MIDI driver from the CD-ROM
that comes bundled with the digital piano onto a
computer equipped with a USB port. After that, you
can connect the digital piano to your computer and run
commercially available MIDI software on your
computer to exchange MIDI data with the digital
piano. You also can use the USB connection to transfer
files you downloaded from the CASIO MUSIC SITE
from your computer to the digital piano.
You will need a commercially available USB cable to
connect a computer to the digital piano’s USB port.

To connect to a computer using the USB
port

1.

On the computer to which you plan to
connect, install the USB MIDI driver from the
CD-ROM that comes bundled with the digital
piano.

NOTE

Before installing the USB MIDI driver, be sure to read the
contents of the “readme.txt” file in the “English” folder
on the bundled CD-ROM.

For details about how to install the USB MIDI driver, see
the “CASIO USB MIDI Driver User’s Guide”
(manual_e.pdf) that also is on the bundled CD-ROM.

2.

Use a commercially available USB cable (A-B
type) to connect the digital piano to the
computer.

IMPORTANT!

• Make sure that the digital piano is turned off before

connecting or disconnecting the USB cable.
