27TUTORIAL: USING MIDI
TUTORIAL
Using MIDI
Instrument #2 recognizes only the piano part received from Instrument
#1. Instrument #3 receives all the parts on the three channels being passed
through Instrument #2 because Instrument #3’s multi-timbral mode
capability is activated.
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.
MIDI CONNECTION
First, connect the CA piano’s MIDI OUT jack to your external MIDI
device’s MIDI IN jack with a MIDI cable.
