Function Buttons
5. LOCAL CONTROL ON/OFF
This determines whether the CA piano’s sound will be played from the
piano’s keyboard (“ON”) or only from an external MIDI instrument
(“OFF”).
Even with local control “off” the piano’s keyboard will still transmit to an
external MIDI instrument or personal computer.
Press the CHURCH ORGAN button while holding down the TOUCH
and the TRANSPOSE buttons.
The display alternatively shows “LcL” (= Local) and on/off status. The
default is on.
Use the VALUE buttons to toggle on and off.
6. MULTI-TIMBRAL MODE ON/OFF
Multi-timbral mode allows the CA piano to receive data on more than one
MIDI channel simultaneously. In this mode, the CA piano can play different
musical parts with different sounds for each part.
Multi-Timbral On (On1 and On2)
This is a flexible 16 part multi-timbral setup. You can turn individual
MIDI channels on and off, and assign any program number to any channel
in the way you like. The CA piano’s normal program change numbers are
assigned in On1 (Please see page 42 for a list of the program change
numbers), and General MIDI program change numbers are assigned in
On2.
Multi-Timbral Off
This turns off the multi-timbral capability. Only one MIDI channel will be
active and only the preset sound currently selected will be heard when a
MIDI signal is received.
Press the HARPSI&MALLETS button while holding down the
TOUCH and the TRANSPOSE buttons.
The display alternatively shows “MLt” (= Multi) and on/off status. The
default is off.
Use the VALUE buttons to toggle on1, on2 and off.
