6. MIDI CHANNEL SELECT
In order to exchange MIDI information with another MIDI instrument,
you must first set the two connected instruments to the same channel.
(1) Press the “MIDI CH” key while holding down the METRONOME
and SOUND SELECT buttons.
(2) While still holding down the METRONOME and SOUND SELECT
buttons, press the 10 keys to select the channel. When selecting a
channel, the channel must be entered by two digit numbers.
EX: For CH 1 press the 0 key then the 1 key.
For CH 16 press the 1 key then the 6 key.
7. MIDI LOCAL CONTROL ON/OFF
This function is used to control whether or not the sound from the
piano will be heard when you play the keyboard. When MIDI LOCAL
CONTROL is set to “on” you will hear the CL30 piano when you play.
When MIDI LOCAL CONTROL is set to “off” you will not hear any
sound from the CL30 piano when you play but the CL30 piano’s
keyboard data will be transmitted through the MIDI jacks to an external
MIDI device.
(1) Press the “LOCAL” key while holding down the METRONOME
and SOUND SELECT buttons.
(2) While still holding down the METRONOME and SOUND SELECT
buttons, pressing the “off” key sets the Local Control to “off”. If you
press the “on” key, this function returns to “on”.
8. TURNING MULTI-TIMBRAL MODE ON/OFF
Normally, the procedure described in the MIDI CHANNEL SELECT
section is used to transmit or receive data on only one MIDI channel
(any one of 1 through 16). But by turning the Multi-Timbral function
“on”, you can receive data on more than one MIDI channel and
simultaneously play a different sound on each channel. With this
feature, you can connect the CL30 piano to an external MIDI recorder
or personal computer to create performances with a variety of timbres.
The term “Multi-Timbral” is derived from the ability to play multiple
timbres simultaneously.
