Connect the MIDI OUT jack of the CDP2000-BK to the MIDI
1)
IN jack of the external sound module.
Be sure to set the MIDI transmit/receive channels of both
2)
instruments to the same number (see chapter 6.3.3).
Connect the audio outputs of the sound module to the
3)
LINE IN jacks of the CDP2000-BK, if you want to play back
the sounds of the external device through the digital piano
loudspeakers.
MIDI connection to a computer with
6.3.2
sequencing software
You can operate the CDP2000-BK in combination with a sequenc-
ing program such as "Cubase" or "Logic". Sequencing software
gives you a wealth of powerful functions to record and process
MIDI data. For example, you can record serveral tracks to create
complex music pieces. Additional options are the production/print-
ing of sheet music or playback of music pieces. What is more,
you can transfer the data of the built-in music sequencer to your
computer for permanent archiving.
The following illustration shows a set-up comprising the
CDP2000-BK and a music computer. The connection of an external
sound module is optional.

MIDI settings
6.3.3
The CDP2000-BK provides eight different function to determine
how the instrument processes MIDI information.
Please enter EDIT mode (see chapter 5.1) and select the
+
following function.
Setting the MIDI transmit channel
>
Use this function to set the transmit channel on which the
CDP2000-BK is to sent MIDI data. MIDI devices must send and
receive on the same MIDI channels to ensure successful MIDI
communication.
Function:
E7.1
Value:
1 ... 16, Off
Description:
1 ... 16:
The CDP2000-BK transmits MIDI data on the
specified MIDI channel. (Default setting:
1
)
Off:
The CDP2000-BK transmits no MIDI data
In layer mode voice #1 transmits MIDI data on the speci
-
+
fied MIDI channel, while voice #2 transmits on the next
higher channel.
Demo song and music sequencer data are not transmit
-
+
ted via the MIDI output. However, you can transmit a
music piece recorded with the built-in music sequencer
using the MIDI dump feature (see „Sending music se
-
quencer data" below).
Setting the MIDI receive channel
>
Use this function to set the receive channel on which the
CDP2000-BK is to receive MIDI data. MIDI devices must transmit
and receive on the same MIDI channels to ensure successful MIDI
communication. Select the default setting
ALL
for proper operation
in combination with a music computer.
Function:
E7.2
Value:
All, 1-2, 1 ... 16
Description:
All:
Simultaneous multi-timbral reception of MIDI
data on all 16 MIDI channels. (Default setting)
1-2:
Reception of MIDI data on channels 1 and 2
1 ... 16:
Reception of MIDI data on the specified MIDI
channel
The multi-timbral reception of MIDI data allows you to
+
use the CDP2000-BK in combination with a sequencing
program as a sound generator for multi-track recordings
(see chapter 6.3.2).
Enable/disable sound generator (Local on/off)
>
This function allows you to determine whether the built-in sound
generator directly plays the notes you play on the keyboard or
whether it only responds to MIDI note information received via
the MIDI IN jack. The latter setting is quite useful, for example, in
sequencer mode. In a closed MIDI chain the looping through of
MIDI signals could otherwise lead to double sounds, i.e. when you
hit a key on the keyboard, the CDP2000-BK plays the note directly
only to play it again shortly after, when the MIDI commands sent
to the sequencer come back via the MIDI IN of the CDP2000-BK.
When the CDP2000-BK is set to Local Off, the MIDI data are only
sent to the sequencer. The notes are played only once when the
MIDI signals come back from the sequencer.
Function:
E7.3
Value:
On, Off
Description:
On:
Sound generator responds to keyboard and
MIDI notes (default setting)
Off:
Sound generator does not respond to the key-
board but to MIDI notes only
