The ability to use Bluetooth MIDI with USB MIDI and/or MIDI IN/OUT connectors simultaneously is limited to the following Kawai digital and hybrid piano models: CA99/CA79, NV10S/NV5S, AURES2/ATX4.
For all other Kawai digital* and hybrid instruments, MIDI is limited to one connection type at a time.
When attempting to connect to more than one type of MIDI, the usage priority is as follows: Bluetooth MIDI → USB-MIDI → MIDI IN/OUT
When using Bluetooth MIDI, both the instrument's USB-MIDI and standard MIDI IN/OUT connectors will be disabled. Similarly, when using USB-MIDI, the instrument's standard MIDI IN/OUT connectors will be disabled.
* Please note that MP stage pianos and VPC MIDI controllers do support the ability to use both USB-MIDI and MIDI IN/OUT simultaneously, but do not feature Bluetooth MIDI functionality.
