KAWAI DIGITAL PIANO CA-X

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.
