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. MIDI [OUT] connector MIDI [IN] connector Quick Start Guide CP5 MIDI keyboard or synthesizer (such as the MOTIF XS) 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. 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. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Navigate 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. ) Turn Knob 2 to set the In/Out parameter (MIDI In/Out) to "MIDI".

When all required zone settings have been completed, press the [EXIT] button to return to the Performance screen.

HINT The MIDI [THRU] connector outputs all MIDI data received at the MIDI [IN] connector, regardless of whether or not it is also used within the stage piano. When playing your CP5 or CP50 from another MIDI device, therefore, the performance data can also be output via this MIDI [THRU] connector to play additional instruments. Quick Start Guide Using the Stage Piano with a Computer Your CP5 or CP50 can also be connected to a computer in order to exchange MIDI data with it. For example, a sequencer running on a computer could be used to play the stage piano, or you could send MIDI data created by playing the stage piano's keyboard to the computer for further processing. Connecting via USB The following procedure describes how to connect the [USB TO HOST] port on the rear of your CP5 or CP50 to a USB port on your computer using a USB cable.
