KAWAI MP
8
Update
This is an Update for the Kawai MP8.
How to do it:
1. Updating
You need a PC or MAC with a MIDI sequencer software and a
MIDI interface or USB. Make sure that MIDI data can be send to
the correct MIDI OUTPUT. In many software programs you must
first set the right MIDI Output first. If you don’t know how to do
it, please ask the maker of your software. You may also use the
Windows MediaPlayer. Before using, please set the default MIDI
device in the Control Panel to the proper MIDI Out, because
MediaPlayer uses this default driver for playback. (Usually the
Wavetable GS driver is default.) Via USB, please select the
Windows driver “USB-Audio-Device”. Open the first MIDI file
(mp

channel to 1. Make sure that your software has no activated
SYS-EX filters. When using MediaPlayer no setting are needed.
(Hint: Cubase Version SX 1 or higher has problems in sending
SYS-EX data and therefore cannot be used! Cubase VST32 etc.
works.)
