USING THE CA PIANO AS A MULTI-TIMBRAL SOUND MODULE

The CA piano can also be used as a 16-part multi-timbral sound module. Your CA piano is capable of playing back for example, a four part song with two piano parts, a string part, and a choir part all sent from an external MIDI sequencer or a personal computer. You can also play the CA piano along with a recorded song.

To set the CA piano to receive MIDI as a multi-timbral instrument it must be connected with an external MIDI device or personal computer with appropriate software.

Connect the CA piano’s MIDI IN jack and your external MIDI device’s MIDI OUT jack with a MIDI cable. Please note that the MIDI information is now being transmitted the opposite of our earlier setup. The CA piano is now receiving MIDI data from your external MIDI device.

MIDI CHANNEL

The next step is to match your MIDI channels. When receiving MIDI data on the CA piano with multi-timbral mode ON, it is not necessary to specify a MIDI channel to use because the CA piano can receive data on multiple MIDI channels at once. You do have to be careful to match MIDI channels between each part. A MIDI channel can only have one sound assigned to it at a time. You must set the MIDI channel for each part on both the transmitting (external MIDI device) and the receiving (CA piano) MIDI devices. For example, channel 1 for piano, ch 2 for strings, ch 3 for choir, etc.
