Using MIDI
That is how to layer the CA piano’s sound with a desired sound from an external MIDI device.
LOCAL CONTROL
You may want to play and only hear your external MIDI device’s sound, without the CA piano’s sound. You can turn off the CA piano’s sound using a function called “local control”.
Local control determines whether or not the CA piano will produce a sound when you play it’s own keyboard. When local control is on, the CA piano produces sound as you play the keys. When off, the piano will not produce a sound when you play the keys. The CA piano’s keyboard will however, continue to transmit MIDI information to an external MIDI device.
Press the CHURCH ORGAN button while holding down the TOUCH
and the TRANSPOSE buttons, and the piano will show “on” or “off” in the display. The initial value is on. Toggle on and off using the VALUE
buttons.
Play the keyboard and you will hear only the sound from your external MIDI device.
To change the sound from the CA piano, select the desired number as explained on page 29 and send it from the CA piano to your external MIDI device.
It may be possible to change preset sounds directly on your external MIDI device. In this case you may want to set the CA piano so that it does not transmit program changes. Read “4. Transmit Program Change On/Off” on page 27 to learn how to prevent the CA piano from transmitting program changes.
