[. . . ] The CN piano is now receiving MIDI data from your external MIDI device. TUTORIAL MIDI IN MIDI OUT 28 KAWAI DIGITAL PIANO CN370 MIDI CHANNEL The next step is to match your MIDI channels. When receiving MIDI data on the CN piano in multi-timbral mode ON, it is not necessary to specify a MIDI channel to use because the CN piano can receive data on multiple MIDI channels at once. You must set the MIDI channel for each part on both the transmitting (external MIDI device) and the receiving (CN piano) MIDI devices. For example, channel 1 for piano, ch 2 for strings, ch 3 for choir, etc. MULTI-TIMBRAL MODE Multi-timbral On is a setup for 16-channel multi-timbral operation. Each channel recognizes the program change numbers as listed on page 63. If you would like to have the CN piano receive MIDI data on a single channel and ignore all data on the other channels set multi-timbral to "Off". Remember, if you want the CN piano to receive MIDI information from an external device, you must match the receiving channel with the transmitting channel. To demonstrate the multi-timbral capability of the CN piano, let's choose Multi-timbral ON. Press the HARPSICHORD button while holding down the TOUCH and TRANSPOSE buttons. The LED display will read "OFF", which means Multi-timbral Off is currently selected. When you are finished listening to the song, press the PLAY/STOP button again to stop. PERFORMING A SONG Now you're ready to play yourself. Tap out the rhythm of the selected song on any one of the 88 black or white keys on your piano keyboard. As you tap harder, the notes will get louder; as you tap softer, the notes will get quieter. As you tap faster, the notes speed up; as you tap slower, they will slow down correspondingly, just like regular piano playing. You can sound like you've been playing for years just by pressing one key with one finger. Concert Magic is a perfect method for small children to learn music, especially to develop a sense of rhythm. For older people who may think it is too late to learn the keyboard, Concert Magic is a good first step for them to begin with. With Concert Magic, your CN piano can be enjoyed by anyone in the family, even those who have never touched a musical instrument in their life. CONCERT MAGIC SONG ARRANGEMENT TYPES Playing with Concert Magic After playing for a while with Concert Magic you may think that it's too easy and there is very little to learn. While it is true that some of the songs are very easy to play, even for beginners, there are also some which will challenge you and require some practice to play beautifully. Each of the 88 Concert Magic songs falls into one of three different categories depending on the skill level required to perform them. To perform them, simply tap out a constant steady beat on any key on your piano keyboard. [. . . ] POWER SWITCH TURNING THE POWER ON Press this button to turn on the power.
