KDP120/KDP75 MIDI Settings Manual

MIDI SettingsThe term MIDI is an acronym for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, an international standard for connecting musical instruments, computers, and other devices to allow the exchange of performance data.When the instrument is connected to a computer using a USB cable, the computer will recognize the instrument as a MIDI device, allowing the instrument to send and receive MIDI messages in the same manner as a normal MIDI interface. Use a suitable USB cable to connect the USB type-A port on the computer to the USB type B port on the digital piano. If there is no USB Type-A port on the computer, a conversion adapter may be required.MIDI channelsMIDI uses channels to exchange data back and forth between MIDI devices. There are receive (MIDI IN) and transmit (MIDI OUT) channels. Most musical instruments or devices with MIDI functions are equipped with both MIDI IN and OUT jacks and are capable of transmitting and receiving data via MIDI. The receive channels are used to receive data from another MIDI device and the transmit channels are used to transmit data to another MIDI device.The illustration below shows three musical instruments, connected together using MIDI.

Transmitting instrument 1 sends transmit channel and keyboard information to receiving instruments 1 2. The information arrives at the receiving instruments 2 3. Receiving instruments 2 3 will respond to MIDI data that is sent if their receive channel is the same as the transmit channel of the transmitting instrument a. If the channels do not match, then the receiving instruments 1 will not respond to any data that is sent.For both receiving and transmitting, channels 1-16 can be used.

Recording/playing with a computerWhen connected to a computer, the KDP120/KDP75 digital piano can be used to record and playback multi-track songs, with separate sounds playing simultaneously on each channel.

MIDI functionsThe KDP120/KDP75 digital piano supports the following MIDI functions:

MIDI settings

Transmit MIDI Program ChangeThe Send Program Change Number setting determines whether or not the KDP120/KDP75 digital piano willtransmit program change information when sounds are changed. It is also possible to transmit a programchange number (ranging from 1 to 128) in order to change the sound of an external MIDI device.1 Transmit MIDI Program Change settings

Changing the Transmit MIDI Program Change settingPress and hold the METRONOME and SOUND SELECT buttons, then press the key assigned to the desired Transmit MIDI ProgramChange setting.

Sending a Program Change numberPress and hold the METRONOME and SOUND SELECT buttons, then enter the desired program change number to send using the number keys indicated below.* Program change numbers are specified as three digits within the range of 001 – 128.* The program change number will be transmitted automatically when the key for the third digit number is pressed.

2 MIDI Channel (transmit/receive)The MIDI Channel setting allows the transmit/receive channel to be specified. The selected channel willfunction as both the transmit and receive channel (separate transmit/receive channels cannot be specified).

Changing the MIDI Channel settingPress and hold the METRONOME and SOUND SELECT buttons, then press the key assigned to the desired MIDI channel.* The MIDI channel can be specified within the range of 1-16.* The MIDI channel is automatically set to ‘1’ when the instrument is turned on (default setting).

3 Local ControlThe Local Control setting determines whether the instrument will play an internal sound when the keysare pressed. This setting is useful when using the KDP120/KDP75 digital piano to control an external MIDIdevice.Local Control settings

Changing the Local Control settingPress and hold the METRONOME and SOUND SELECT buttons, then press the key assigned to the desired Local Control setting.* Any changes made to the Local Control setting will remain until the power is turned off.

4 Multi-timbral ModeThe Multi-timbral mode setting determines whether or not the KDP120/KDP75 digital piano is able to receive MIDI information on more than one MIDI channel simultaneously. This allows the instrument to playback multi-track, multi-timbral performance data sent from an external MIDI device.

Multi-timbre settings

* Please refer to the ‘Program Change Number List’ on page 7.

Changing the Multi-timbral mode settingPress and hold the METRONOME and SOUND SELECT buttons, then press the key assigned to the desired Multi-timbre setting.* MIDI data received through channel 10 will not be performed when Multi-timbre is enabled.
