ONE FINGER MODE - Single fingering mode, or intelligent chord

mode, makes it simple to produce four types of orchestrated accompaniment chords using a minimum of fingers, (one, two, or three fingers at the most), while playing in the auto accompaniment section of the piano. In this mode, keys in the auto accompaniment section of the piano are used to produce major, seventh, minor, and minor-seventh chords. The auto accompaniment will start with the percussive rhythm as soon as a recognized chord is played. The accompaniment produced is perfectly matched to the selected rhythm style. The one finger chord mode plays the nearest chord to the pressed key(s), when you press any key in the auto accompaniment section of the piano, to the left of the split point.

Major Chord: Press any key in the auto accompaniment section of the piano. The key you press determines the root note of the major chord.

Minor Chord: Press the root key and the third piano key to its right (minor 3rd key) in the auto accompaniment section of the piano simultaneously.

Seventh Chord: Press the root key and the piano key to its immediate left (7th key) in the auto accompaniment section of the piano simultaneously.

Minor-Seventh Chord: Press the root key and both the second piano key to its left (7th key) and the third piano key to its right (minor 3rd key) in the auto accompaniment section of the piano simultaneously.

MIDI

MIDI stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface. This is a world wide standard communication interface that enables electronic musical instruments and computers (of all brands) to communicate with each other so that instructions and other data can pass between them. This exchange of information makes it possible to create a system of MIDI instruments and devices that offers far greater versatility and control than is available with isolated instruments. Whether you interface with computers, sequencers, expanders or other pianos your Suzuki piano’s technical capabilities, and your musical horizons will be greatly enhanced. For further information on MIDI and MIDI equipment that is available, please contact your local Suzuki music store.

THRU OUT IN

MIDI CONNECTION - The MIDI terminals are located on the back

panel of the piano.

1. MIDI In: This terminal receives MIDI data from an external

MIDI device.

2. MIDI Out: This terminal transmits data from this instrument to

other MIDI devices. The transmitted data includes the note and touch velocity produced while playing on the piano, as well as voice changes, wheel operation, and recorded playback for the melody tracks. Demo songs and auto accompaniment are not transmitted.

3. MIDI Thru - This terminal transfers data from the IN terminal

directly to other MIDI devices.

MIDI CHANNELS - The MIDI system in this unit has 16 channels

numbered from 1-16. Each of the channels is responsible for a voice. When the instrument receives from an external device, the active channel is determined by the control message. The transmission channels on this piano are fixed as follows:

Channel 1: Master voice Channel 2: Layer voice Channel 3: Split voice Channel 4: Bass in manual bass chord mode Channel 7: Chord in manual bass chord mode Channel 10: Percussion sound

Please see the MIDI Implementation Chart for more detail.

BASIC MIDI SETUPS

Output to an external sound generator - MIDI pianos

transmit note and velocity (touch sensitivity) information via the MIDI Out connector. Connect the MIDI Out terminal of the piano and the MIDI IN terminal of an external device, piano, synthesizer, or sound module, and the external device should respond to your playing.

By connecting this Suzuki piano to another piano in this way

you can essentially play two instruments at the same time or play on your piano to the sound of another MIDI devise to produce thick, layered multi-instrument sounds.

Output from an external MIDI device - Connect the MIDI In

terminal of the piano and the MIDI Out terminal of an external device. Data generated on another device can through your pianos sound delivery systerm.

Connect with an computer - Although the Suzuki piano

offers a built in sequencer, the music recorder is a real-time five track sequencer, the same type of musical information transfer that is described above can be used for more sophisticated MIDI sequence recording using an external sequencer or computer. These devices could be used to record MIDI data received form this piano. You can transmit your performance to a computer to utilized advanced recording, composing and editing available from software on the computer. MIDI music stored on the computer can be played back through your instrument.

Page 79

MIDI LOCAL CONTROL MODE - Local control refers to the fact

that normally, this Suzuki piano controls the internal tone generator. This is the normal play mode. Local control can be turned off, so that the piano does not play the internal voices, however, the MIDI information is still transmitted via the MIDI Out connector when notes are played on the piano. At the same time, the internal tone generator can respond to MIDI data received via the MIDI In connector.

MIDI INPUT CHANNEL SELECTION - You may select an indi-

vidual MIDI channel to receive MIDI data on. The power up default setting is the OMNI mode which receives MIDI data on all channels.

MIDI SPLIT INPUT LOWER CHANNEL MODE - This MIDI input

channel mode is used to select which MIDI input channel you want to receive for the lower split piano MIDI data. The previous MIDI input mode will receive the upper split piano data.

MIDI OUTPUT CHANNEL SELECTION - You may select an

individual MIDI channel to transmit MIDI data on. The power up default setting to transmit MIDI data is channel 1.

MIDI SLIT OUTPUT LOWER CHANNEL MODE - This MIDI output

channel mode is used to select which MIDI output channel that you want to transmit on for the lower split piano data. This MIDI data can be sent separately on a discrete MIDI channel. The previous MIDI input mode will transmit the upper split piano data. The default setting for this mode transmits on channel two.
