What is MIDI?
The acronym MIDI is the abbreviation of "Musical Instrument Digital Interface" and represents a standard for the transmission of data
via cables between an electronic musical instrument and a personal computer or another electronic musical instrument.
At this point, the keyboard is correctly connected and recognised by the computer.
Note:The recognition of the keyboard by the computer takes places during the first connection; in subsequent connection no mes-
sage will appear. Only the characteristic sound produced by the computer to indicate the insertion of a USB device will be heard..
Attention:
• If the keyboard is not recognised by the computer and a USB device not recognised error message appears, repeat the operation.
If the problem persists, check that the minimum requirements are respected.
• if the operating system is later than Windows XP (Vista ...), it is necessary to download the respective drivers from the internet,
using the site www.bontempi.com.

keyboard connected to the computer.
To perform a MIDI file using “Windows Media Player” follow the operations below:
Usable Programmes
In addition to WINDOWS Media Player, many other computer programmes are commercially available.They offer the possibility to
expand the range of functions of the keyboard. Some allow the registration of pieces in Midi format. In other cases, it is possible to
register on the computer what is being played on the keyboard. Later, the piece can be replayed, and its musical score can be visua-
lised or printed. It is also possible to correct errors, change sounds, etc.
Many of these software programmes are also available on the Internet in Demo or Shareware format.
Attention:
• If the keyboard or the computer freeze, switch off both devices and then switch on the keyboard again.
• Correct operation cannot be guaranteed if the instrument is switched off or the USB cable disconnected while a MIDI applica-
tion is operational.
• Leave at least 10 seconds between switching off and switching on the keyboard and between the disconnection and connection
of the USB cable.
