Midi Channel - Kawai K-15E ATII Bedienungsanleitung

MIDI THRU: Data received through the MIDI IN jack is routed as is from the MIDI IN jack to the MIDI
THRU jack, allowing the data to be sent to another instrument. The MIDI THRU jack is often used to
connect three or more MIDI-compatible instruments (the Anytime Piano does not have MIDI THRU jack).

MIDI Channel

MIDI allows you to select a channel for any given set of data. Once MIDI data is channelized, it can be
transmitted to (or received by) one specific instrument, even though many instruments are receiving the same
data. Most MIDI instruments allow you to select one MIDI channel for transmitting data and another MIDI
channel for receiving data. The MIDI Receive channel is used when an instrument receives data from another
instrument. The MIDI Send channel is used for transmitting data to another instrument.
While the MIDI specification allows up to 16 MIDI channels for sending or receiving data (1 through 16), the
Anytime Piano uses only Channel 1. When you are connecting other MIDI instruments to the Anytime
Piano, make sure that those other instruments are set to send or receive data on MIDI channel 1.

Fig 9
When connected as shown in the illustration (see Fig. 9), MIDI data sent from the Anytime Piano (as notes are
played) will also be played on the digital synthesizer. Also, by connecting the synthesizer's Audio Out jack to
the AUX IN jack on the Anytime Piano, you can use headphones to hear the digital sound of the Anytime
Piano "layered" over the sound of the synthesizer.
Since most synthesizers allow you to select from a wide array of sounds, you have a tremendous range of
possibilities for layered combinations. You can hear the Anytime Piano's Piano tone layered with a String tone
from the synthesizer.
