D. Using the Concert Performer with an
External MIDI Instrument
MIDI lets you expand the creative possibilities of the CP by
connecting it to an external MIDI device or personal computer.
Use a MIDI cable to connect the CP’s MIDI Out jack to the
other device’s MIDI In. Likewise, connect the MIDI Out jack
of the other
device to the CP’s MIDI In.
E. Using The Concert Performer with Your
Personal Computer
Your personal computer can be used as a MIDI device as well.
In order to connect your computer to the CP you will need a
MIDI interface. Check with your local music store or computer
dealer for more information about particular models of these
interface devices. Once you have your computer connected to
your Concert Performer, you can think of it as a powerful
extension of the CP’s own music processing abilities. There
are hundreds of software programs available that you can use
to do everything from learn the basics of piano playing, to
creating film scores for your home movies, to composing the
next great digital symphony.
If you don’t wish to purchase a MIDI interface device for your
computer, the Concert Performer has a special type of interface
built in to it that may make the connection easier. The CP can
be connected directly to the back of your computer via a USB
cable.
In order for the CP and your computer to properly
communicate
over this USB cable, your computer must have a USB driver
installed. Please read the instructions on the next page for the
details about the USB driver.
