Can I use Bluetooth MIDI with USB-MIDI and/or the MIDI IN/OUT connectors simultaneously?

ConnectivityBluetoothHybrid PianosDigital Pianos

A

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.
