About MIDI<br />
MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a standard format for data transmission/reception. It<br />
enables the transfer of performance data and commands between MIDI devices and personal computers.<br />
Using MIDI, you can control a connected MIDI device from the Clavinova, or control the Clavinova from<br />
a connected MIDI device or computer.<br />
MIDI connectors<br />
MIDI [IN]: Receives MIDI data.<br />
MIDI [OUT]: Transmits MIDI data.<br />
MIDI [THRU]: Transmits data received at the MIDI [IN] connector as it is.<br />
TIP<br />
Prepare dedicated MIDI cables.<br />
[TO HOST] connector<br />

TIP<br />
The type connecting cable varies depending on the computer. Refer to “Connecting<br />
a Personal Computer” on page 61 for more information.<br />
[USB] connector<br />
Use this connector to connect the Clavinova and computer.<br />
TIP<br />
MIDI performance data and<br />
commands are transferred in<br />
the form of numeric values.<br />
Since MIDI data that can be<br />
transmitted or received varies<br />
depending on the type of<br />
MIDI device, check the “MIDI<br />
Implementation Chart” to find<br />
out what MIDI data and commands<br />
your devices can<br />
transmit or receive. The Clavinova’s<br />
MIDI Implementation<br />
Chart is listed on pages 31<br />
and 32 in the “Reference<br />
Booklet” for the <strong>CLP</strong>-<strong>170</strong>/<strong>150</strong>.<br />
