Kawai Concert Performer Series Digital Piano

P. 90

If you wish to play a song without any intentions to make permanent

changes or additional recordings, you can use the CP’s Disk Song

Play function to load the song very quickly for playback. Using the

disk drive in this way makes the Concert Performer an enjoyable

source of entertainment for parties and other social events, as well

as a great tool for the professional musician or music educator.

The Concert Performer’s floppy disk drive provides a convenient

way to playback songs recorded in the CP’s Internal Format or

Standard MIDI File (SMF) format. Songs in the CP’s internal format

typically are ones that you have recorded on your own instrument.

There are many sources of SMF songs, including disks for sale from

professional musicians and publishers, songs shared among

musicians and hobbyists, and Internet sites that feature SMF songs

available for download.

About songs on Floppy Disk

If you will use a blank disk to store and play your own compositions made on the Concert Performer,

there isn’t much to worry about. The CP can format the disk (if it isn’t already formatted), and the

CP’s internal song format remembers everything about your song, including which sounds to use

with the recorded tracks. However, if you wish to purchase a disk of songs from your music store

or publisher, play a disk given to you by someone else, or play songs downloaded from the Internet,

you will need to remember a few simple points:

• The CP reads only DOS formatted disks, either double-sided double-density (720KB) or high

density (1.4MB). These are the most commonly used disk formats in both computers and musical

instruments.

• The CP recognizes song files written in the Standard MIDI File format as long as they have DOS

file names ending with “.MID”. There are two types of Standard MIDI File formats, Format 0 and

1. The CP can read the song data of both formats, however it will only display the lyrics of a song

written as format 0.

• Songs that have been composed with the General MIDI (GM) standard will sound fine without

any additional work, because data in the files will inform the CP as to what sounds to use when

playing the song. If the song was not composed to the GM standard, you may find it necessary to

edit the song to assign the correct sounds to the various tracks. Fortunately, almost all

commercially available MIDI files adhere to the General MIDI standard.
