capabilities in MIDI applications.

About MIDI
MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a standard format for data transmis-
sion/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 P-85, or control the P-85 from a connected MIDI device or computer.
MIDI Capabilities
MIDI functions enable you to transfer performance data between MIDI devices.
CAUTION
Before connecting the instrument to other electronic components, turn off the power of all the
components.
Transferring performance data to and from another
MIDI device
Transferring MIDI data to and from a computer
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 MIDI Implementation Chart is
included in the Data List, which
can be found at the Yamaha
website (See page 7).
NOTE
You cannot transmit the voice
demo songs and the piano preset
songs from the P-85 to another
MIDI device.
For MIDI connections, use a stan-
dard (optional) MIDI cable, avail-
able at most musical instrument
stores.
