Using MIDI

TUTORIAL

MULTI-TIMBRAL MODE

Multi-timbral On is a setup for 16-channel multi-timbral operation. You can mute the channels separately. Each channel recognizes the program change numbers as listed on page 75.

Multi-timbral Off turns off the multi-timbral capability. If you would like to have the CA piano receive MIDI data on a single channel and ignore all data on the other channels set multi-timbral to “Off”. Remember, if you want the CA piano to receive MIDI information from an external device, in this setup you must match the receiving channel with the transmitting channel. Program change numbers are recognized as listed on page 75.

To demonstrate the multi-timbral capability of the CA piano, let’s choose Multi-timbral On.

Press the MENU buttons until you see “9. Multi Timbre”.

The LCD display will read “OFF”, which means Multi-

timbral Off is currently selected.

Use the VALUE buttons to select Multi-timbral On. The display will read “ON”.

After choosing the multi-timbral setting, press any SOUND SELECT button to exit from the function menu.

Let’s see how this works using an external MIDI device. If you have a keyboard connected to the CA piano try playing some notes. You should hear the CA piano as you play. If you have a MIDI song player or personal computer with MIDI software connected try sending some MIDI song data with one or more different musical parts to the CA. Again you should hear the CA piano playing all the parts. In multi-timbral mode, if you want to hear a particular sound for each part you transmit to the CA you must send the correct Program/sound number from the transmitting MIDI device to the CA piano. Please see page 75 for a list of the Program/ sound number assignments for the CA piano.
