30 KAWAI DIGITAL PIANO CA1200, CA1000
TUTORIAL Using MIDI
In order for your external MIDI device to play the sound you want, you
need to know what program change number to transmit to it. Please read
your external MIDI device’s manual for a list of its program change number/
sound assignments. Then read “Sending Program Change Numbers” in
the Reference section, page 48 for the procedure to send a desired program
change number from the CA piano.
That is how to layer the CA piano’s sound with a desired sound from an
external MIDI device.
LOCAL CONTROL
You may want to play and only hear your external MIDI device’s sound,
without the CA piano’s sound. You can turn off the CA piano’s sound
using a function called “local control”.
Local control determines whether or not the CA piano will produce a
sound when you play it’s own keyboard. When local control is on, the CA
piano produces sound as you play the keys. When off, the piano will not
produce a sound when you play the keys. The CA piano’s keyboard will
however, continue to transmit MIDI information to an external MIDI
device.
Press the MENU buttons until you see “7. Local Control”.
The LCD display will read “on”, which means the
piano is currently set to local control on.
To turn it off, use the VALUE buttons.
Press any SOUND SELECT button to exit from the function menu.
Play the keyboard and you will hear only the sound from your external
MIDI device.
To change the sound from the CA piano, select the desired number as
explained in the Reference section and send it from the CA piano to your
external MIDI device.
It may be possible to change preset sounds directly on your external MIDI
device. In this case you may want to set the CA piano so that it does not
transmit program changes. Read “8. Transmit Program Change On/Off”
in the reference section on page 49 to learn how to prevent the CA piano
from transmitting program changes.
