The CA piano can also be used as a 16-part multi-timbral sound module.
Your CA piano is capable of playing back for example, a four part song
with two piano parts, a string part, and a choir part all sent from an external
MIDI sequencer or a personal computer. You can also play the CA piano
along with a recorded song.
To set the CA piano to receive MIDI as a multi-timbral instrument it must
be connected with an external MIDI device or personal computer with
appropriate software.
Connect the CA piano’s MIDI IN jack and your external MIDI device’s
MIDI OUT jack with a MIDI cable. Please note that the MIDI information
is now being transmitted the opposite of our earlier setup. The CA piano
is now receiving MIDI data from your external MIDI device.
MIDI CHANNEL
The next step is to match your MIDI channels. When receiving MIDI data
on the CA piano with multi-timbral mode ON, it is not necessary to specify
a MIDI channel to use because the CA piano can receive data on multiple
MIDI channels at once. You do have to be careful to match MIDI channels
between each part. A MIDI channel can only have one sound assigned to
it at a time. You must set the MIDI channel for each part on both the
transmitting (external MIDI device) and the receiving (CA piano) MIDI
devices. For example, channel 1 for piano, ch 2 for strings, ch 3 for choir,
etc.
