Integrating with Other MIDI Devices
CP5/CP50 Owner’s Manual 45
Quick Start Guide
Integrating with Other MIDI Devices
You can connect your stage piano's MIDI [IN], [OUT], and [THRU] connectors to MIDI connectors on other MIDI devices
using standard MIDI cables (sold separately). The following section will describe how external MIDI devices connected
in this way can then be controlled from your CP5 or CP50.
NOTE Even when your CP5 or CP50 is connected to other MIDI devices, you will need to connect a stereo system or an amplifier and speakers in order
to hear the sound produced. Alternatively, a pair of headphones can always be connected for direct monitoring of the stage piano. For details, see
Connecting Audio Equipment from the Setting Up section (page 15).
NOTICE
Whenever connecting external audio equipment, ensure that the volume on all devices is turned fully down. From this condition, start by
turning on devices that send MIDI data, then turn on those that receive MIDI data, and finally, turn on any external audio equipment (with
amplifiers or powered speakers being turned on last of all). Meanwhile, when shutting down your system, start by turning the volume of
all devices fully down, and then turn off devices in the reverse order to turning on.
Playing a Synth from the Stage Piano
When your CP5 or CP50 is connected to a MIDI instrument such as a synthesizer or tone-generator module and settings
are configured as described below, you can use the stage piano’s keyboard to play the other instrument.
With this type of connection, the same MIDI channel must be used by the stage piano and the other instrument to send
and receive, respectively. While your stage piano’s keyboard can be used in this type of situation to play its own sounds
and those of the other instrument simultaneously, it is also possible to assign individual sounds to the keyboard in a
number of different ways so that they can be played independently. The procedure for doing so is described below. If,
however, you do not wish to split up the keyboard in this way, you can instead navigate to Page 5 of the Utility screen
(See the Reference Manual pdf document for more details) after completing Steps 1 and 2 below and set the MIDI
channel for transmission so as to match the other instrument’s receive channel.
1Navigate to Page 6 of the Utility screen by pressing the [UTILITY] button, and if necessary, the [6] button. (See the
Reference Manual pdf document for more details.)
2Turn Knob 2 to set the In/Out parameter (MIDI In/Out) to “MIDI”.
With this setting, MIDI data will be exchanged with other devices via the stage piano’s MIDI connectors (instead of
via USB).
3Press the [STORE] button to store this setting.
Utility settings are stored within User Memory as part of the stage piano’s system settings. For details regarding the
storing procedure, refer to page 50.
4Press the [EXIT] button to return to the Performance screen, and then select the Performance you would like to play
(page 23).
5Navigate to Page 2 of the Common Settings screen by pressing the [COMMON] button, and if necessary, the [2] button.
6Press Knob 3 (ZoneEdit [PUSH]).
The Zone Edit screen will be displayed.
7Turn Knob 3 to set the ZoneSw parameter (Zone Switch) to “on”.
All four zones will be activated.
