Kawai CE200 - Manual (Page 43)

43 USING MIDI
Using MIDI
tune in to the right channel. When a transmitting instrument uses channel
1, the receiving instrument must be set to use channel 1 also. The CE200
piano lets you set the same channel number for both Transmit and receive.
There are 16 MIDI channels available to choose from on the CE200 piano.
In addition to channel-to-channel connection, it is possible to receive
multiple channels. With MIDI instruments equipped with multi-timbral
capabilities , you can receive multiple parts on multiple channels each
played with a different sound simultaneously. For example, a MIDI
instrument might receive the melody on channel 1, the chords on 2, the
bass on 3, and assign a different instrument to each channel. Piano for
channel 1, strings for 2, electric bass for 3. In this way, the CE200 piano
can play up to 16 different parts each with a different sound.
Here’s a diagram to summarize the MIDI connections we have discussed.
