The following section will describe how external MIDI devices connected in this way can then be controlled from your CP5 or EM300. NOTE Even when your CP5 or EM300 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 EM300 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". With this setting, MIDI data will be exchanged with other devices via the stage piano's MIDI connectors (instead of via USB). Utility settings are stored within User Memory as part of the stage piano's system settings.
