D. Using the Concert Performer with an External MIDI
Instrument
MIDI lets you expand the creative possibilities of the CP by
connecting it to an external MIDI device or personal computer.
Use a MIDI cable to connect the CP’s MIDI Out jack to the other
device’s MIDI In. Likewise, connect the MIDI Out jack of the other
device to the CP’s MIDI In.
E. Using The Concert Performer with Your Personal
Computer
Your personal computer can be used as a MIDI device as well. In
order to connect your computer to the CP you will need a MIDI
interface. Check with your local music store or computer dealer
for more information about particular models of these interface
devices. Once you have your computer connected to your Concert
Performer, you can think of it as a powerful extension of the CP’s
own music processing abilities. There are hundreds of software
programs available that you can use to do everything from learn
the basics of piano playing, to creating film scores for your home
movies, to composing the next great digital symphony.
If you don’t wish to purchase a MIDI interface device for your
computer, the Concert Performer has a special type of interface
built in to it that may make the connection easier. The CP can be
connected directly to the back of your computer via a USB cable.
In order for the CP and your computer to properly communicate
over this USB cable, you first need to set the MIDI-USB switch
located next to the MIDI jacks to USB. Also your computer must
have a USB driver installed. Please read the instruction on the
next page for the details about the USB driver.
