About MIDI
MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a standard format for data transmission/
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
Clavinova, or control the Clavinova from a connected MIDI device or computer.

NOTE
The Clavinova's [MASTER VOL-
UME] slider setting affect the
input signal from the AUX IN
jacks, but the [BRILLIANCE],
[REVERB], and [EFFECT] set-
tings do not.
NOTE
If you connect the Clavinova to a
monaural device, use only the
AUX IN [L/L+R] jack.
NOTE
There are two different types of
USB terminals on the instrument:
USB [TO DEVICE] and USB [TO
HOST]. Take care not to confuse
the two terminals and the corre-
sponding cable connectors. Be
careful to connect the proper plug
in the proper direction.
NOTE
MIDI performance data and com-
mands are transferred in the form
of numeric values.
NOTE
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 Clavinova's MIDI Implemen-
tation Chart appears on page 84.
