We have provided this brief look at MIDI to help you understand the CA piano’s MIDI capabilities.

While it is beyond the scope of this manual to explain the entire world of MIDI we do encourage you to visit your local music store or contact a music publisher for a listing of available books on MIDI applications to learn more.

Let’s explore some MIDI applications using an external MIDI device connected to the CA piano.

USING THE CA PIANO AS CONTROLLER

First let’s play sounds from an external MIDI device using the CA piano’s keyboard.
