As with a grand piano, all eighty-eight black and white keys are crafted entirely from long pieces of wood, pivoting on a central balance pin in a smooth, seesaw-like motion. The Grand Feel II keys are longer than any other digital piano keyboard action, with the pivot point distance matching that of a Kawai grand piano. When the front of a key is pressed down, the rear rises, throwing a hammer which plays the note. These metal hammers have been micro-engineered to optmise their centre of gravity, and are graded in size and weight to replicate the heavier bass and lighter treble notes of an acoustic grand piano. The forward and backward movements of each hammer are precisely measured using triple-sensor technology, providing faster key repetition, improved responsiveness, and enhanced playing realism. In addition to grade-weighted hammers, the Grand Feel II action also features counterweights placed within each key. As with an acoustic piano, these finely balanced weights help to lighten the touch of the keyboard during pianissimo passages, while adding a feel of greater substance when playing with force. The Grand Feel II keyboard action even reproduces the subtle let-off sensation felt when playing the keys of a grand piano very softly, satisfying the expectations of even the most discerning pianists. Finally, the Grand Feel II keyboard action features Kawai’s Ebony & Ivory Touch key surfaces. These finely textured materials gently absorb moisture to assist playing control, and possess a natural, matte finish that is smooth, but not slippery. Shigeru Kawai SK-EX concert grand piano reproduced with latest SK-EX Rendering sound technology The magnificent tone of Kawai’s flagship Shigeru Kawai SK-EX full concert grand piano is at the heart of the CA98 and CA78 digital pianos. Widely regarded as the ‘premier pianos of Japan’, Shigeru Kawai instruments grace the stages of concert halls and musical institutions throughout the world, and are prized for their tonal clarity and exceptional dynamic range. In order to faithfully reproduce the stunning sound of a Shigeru digitally, Kawai has developed SK-EX Rendering – a brand new piano sound engine that blends multi-channel, 88-key sampling with the latest resonance modelling technology. Multichannel sampling captures the sound from different points of the Shigeru Kawai concert grand piano, allowing a broader range of tonal characteristics to be reproduced, and providing a more lively, authentic response to changes in dynamics. This naturally expressive sound is further enriched by newly developed resonance algorithms, which physically model the complex tonal interactions produced by the strings, pedals, and various other parts of an acoustic piano, giving players the impression that they’re sitting at a living, breathing instrument. Alternative acoustic piano sounds and a strong selection of additional instrument voices In addition to the latest SK-EX Rendering piano sound engine, the CA98 and CA78 digital pianos also incorporate Kawai’s highly regarded Harmonic Imaging XL technology, showcasing a variety of alternative acoustic pianos sounds and a strong selection of additional instrument voices. The Kawai EX full concert grand piano has frequently been selected by professional pianists in such prestigious events as the Chopin, Tchaikovsky, and Rubinstein international piano competitions, while the Shigeru Kawai SK-5 chamber grand and Kawai K-60 upright, allow performers to enjoy the contrasting tonal characteristics of various different piano sizes and voicing configurations. Supplementing these realistic acoustic piano voices, the CA98 & CA78 digital pianos also feature an excellent selection of additional instrument sounds, ranging from electric pianos and drawbar and church organs, to strings, human choirs, and even atmospheric synth-style pads, inviting musicians to add greater variety to their performances. Furthermore, the Dual playing mode also allows two different sounds, such as grand piano and strings, to be layered together, while the Split and 4Hands playing modes divide the keyboard into two independent sections. Virtual Technician adjustments to personalise the instrument’s character The CA98 & CA78 digital pianos’ Virtual Technician feature allows various characteristics of the selected acoustic piano, electric piano, or harpsichord sound to be shaped from the instruments’ touchscreen display, with settings to adjust voicing and regulation, string, damper, and cabinet resonances, and subtle hammer, damper, and key release noises. It is even possible to adjust the precise tuning and volume of individual notes, before storing one’s favorite instrument configuration to memory. 10 Integrated Bluetooth® MIDI and Audio connectivity Introduction In addition to standard MIDI jacks for connecting to other instruments, the CA98/CA78 digital piano also boasts integrated Bluetooth MIDI and Audio technology that allows the instrument to communicate with supported smart devices wirelessly. Once connected to a phone, tablet, or laptop, CA98/CA78 digital piano owners can enjoy a wide variety of exciting musicrelated apps that enhance their learning and playing experience, or stream audio from songs and videos through the instrument’s speakers without any additional cables. * Availability of Bluetooth function dependent on market location. USB to Device functionality, with MP3/WAV file recording and playback The CA98 & CA78 digital pianos are equipped with USB connectors that not only allow these instruments to be connected to a computer for MIDI use, but also to load and save data to USB memory devices directly. This ‘USB to Device’ feature allows recorded songs stored in internal memory to be saved to USB for posterity, or standard MIDI files (SMF) downloaded from the internet to be conveniently played back without additional hardware. USB memory devices can also be used to play back MP3 or WAV audio files, allowing musicians to learn the chords or melody for a new piece, or to simply play along with their favorite songs. It is even possible to save performances as MP3 or WAV files for emailing to friends and family, listening to on the move, or for further editing using an audio workstation. Premium audio hardware, powered by Onkyo Developed in collaboration with Onkyo, one of Japan’s leading premium audio equipment manufacturers, the CA98/CA78 digital pianos are the first musical instruments to utilise specialist components designed for high-end audio reproduction. With cutting-edge technologies such as 1-bit processing, dual DAC signal conversion, and Onkyo’s DIRDC filtering, the CA98/CA78’s optimised power amplifiers reproduce the Shigeru Kawai grand piano sound with stunning clarity, richness, and power, while the high-performance Discrete SpectraModule™ headphone amplifier ensures the finest quality listening experience, even when playing in privacy. Full-colour touchscreen display for intuitive, button-less operation The CA98 and CA78 digital pianos are the first instruments of their kind to feature a full-colour 5” touchscreen display. Discreetly embedded within the left cheekblock, this high resolution touchscreen allows sounds and settings to be selected from an attractive user interface with the swipe of a finger.

Depressing this pedal sustains the sound after one’s hands have been lifted from the keyboard – greatly enriching the piano sound, while also assisting smooth ‘legato’ passages. The damper pedal is capable of responding to half pedaling. Introduction Damper pedal (right pedal) Soft pedal Sostenuto pedal Damper pedal Soft pedal (left pedal) Sostenuto pedal (centre pedal) Depressing this pedal softens the sound, reducing its volume. Depressing this pedal after playing the keyboard and before releasing the keys, sustains the sound of only those notes that have been played. Any keys that are subsequently played after the sostenuto pedal is depressed will not be sustained. When the rotary speaker effect is selected, the soft pedal is also used to alternate the speed of the rotary simulation between ‘Slow’ and ‘Fast’ effect modes. Pedal support bolt A pedal support bolt is attached to the base of the pedal board to aid stability when the pedals are pushed. Turn the bolt anti-clockwise until it makes contact with the floor and supports the pedals firmly. If the pedal support bolt does not make proper contact with the floor, the pedal board may become damaged. Pedal support bolt When moving the instrument, always adjust or remove the pedal support bolt, then readjust when the instrument is in its new position. Caring for the pedals If the surface of the pedals becomes dirty, clean the pedals using a dry dish-washing sponge. Do not attempt to clean the pedals using rust-removing solvents, abrasives or files. Grand Feel Pedal System The CA98/CA78 digital piano features the Grand Feel Pedal System, which replicates the position and individual weighting of the damper, soft, and sostenuto pedals of a Shigeru Kawai SK Concert Grand piano. It is also possible to adjust the sensitivity of the damper pedal, and the effectiveness of the soft pedal using the ‘Half-Pedal Adjust’ and ‘Soft Pedal Depth’ settings. * For more information, please refer to page 123. 17 Setting Up the Piano 5 Touchscreen Operations Introduction The CA98/CA78 digital piano’s touchscreen display is used to provide useful information about the currently selected sound mode/name, function, and setting.

The volume and tonal character change in relation to the strength and velocity of playing – on a digital piano this system is referred to as ‘touch sensitivity’. The Touch Curve setting allows the touch sensitivity of the keyboard to be conveniently adjusted. There are six different preset touch curve settings available, with an additional ‘User’ setting allowing performers to customise the instrument’s keyboard responsiveness to suit their individual playing style. The default ‘Normal’ setting is designed to accurately recreate the touch of a Kawai concert grand piano. However, if the keyboard feels too light, or fortissimo playing is achieved too easily, it may be desirable to select a heavier touch curve. Alternatively, if the keyboard feels too heavy, or fortissimo playing is too difficult to achieve, it may be desirable to select a lighter touch curve. * This Virtual Technician setting will affect all sounds. Touch Curve types Touch Curve Description Light + Requires less striking force to achieve a forte note. For players with a very delicate touch. Light A louder volume is produced even when playing with a soft touch. For those still developing finger strength. * This touch curve is recommended for children and organ players. Normal (default) Reproduces the standard touch sensitivity of an acoustic piano. Heavy Requires a heavier touch to produce a loud volume. Ideally suited to those with stronger fingers. Heavy + Requires considerably more striking force to achieve a loud volume. Off (constant) A constant volume is produced regardless of how hard the keys are struck. * This touch curve intended for playing sounds of instruments that have a fixed dynamic range (e.g. organ and harpsichord). User A custom touch curve, created to suit an individual’s personal playing style.

Technicians utilise a variety of tools such as needles, files, and brushes to manipulate these hammer felts, with the ultimate goal of achieving a balanced tonal character across the keyboard. The Voicing setting recreates various hammer properties, allowing the overall tonal character of the CA98/CA78 digital piano to be adjusted. There are six different preset voicing settings available (applied uniformly to all keys), with an additional ‘User’ setting allowing players to perform custom adjustments on each individual key. While the default ‘Normal’ voicing setting should be appropriate for a broad range of musical genres, it may be desirable to select a softer, more mellow tonal character for romantic pieces, or a brighter, more aggressive tone for modern styles. * This Virtual Technician setting will affect all sounds. Voicing types Voicing type Description Normal (default) The normal tonal character of an acoustic piano throughout the entire dynamic range. Mellow 1 A softer, more mellow tonal character throughout the entire dynamic range. Mellow 2 An even softer tonal character than Mellow 1. Dynamic A tonal character that changes dramatically from mellow to bright, depending on the strength of key strike. Bright 1 A bright tonal character throughout the entire dynamic range. Bright 2 An even brighter tonal character than Bright 1. User A custom tonal character, allowing each key to be individually voiced. Changing the Voicing type Swipe left/right or tap the arrow buttons to change the Voicing type. * The Touch Curve can be set to one of 7 types.

Settings * If desired, tap [Save to Sound] to ensure that the User Voicing type is retained after the instrument’s power is turned off. 106 Key User Voicing slider 3 Damper Resonance Sound Mode Pressing the damper pedal of an acoustic piano raises all dampers, allowing the strings to vibrate freely. When a note or chord is played on the piano with the sustain pedal pressed, not only will the strings of the notes played vibrate, but also the strings of other notes, vibrating in sympathetic resonance. The CA98/CA78 digital piano recreates this phenomenon, with the Damper Resonance setting allowing the volume of this resonance sound to be adjusted. * This Virtual Technician setting will affect acoustic piano sounds only. Adjusting the Damper Resonance volume Long press and drag the slider to increase or decrease the volume of the Damper Resonance setting. * The Damper Resonance volume can be adjusted within the range of Off, 1~10, with higher values resulting in a more pronounced resonance. * Any changes made to the Damper Resonance setting will remain until the power is turned off. * Preferred Damper Resonance settings can be stored to the sound’s memory (in Sound mode) or a Favorite memory for convenient recall. Please refer to pages 83 and 102 for more information. 4 Damper Noise Damper Resonance slider Pianist Mode Sound Mode When the damper pedal of an acoustic piano is pressed and released, it is often possible to hear the sound of the damper head touching and releasing the strings. The CA98/CA78 digital piano reproduces this sound, with the Damper Noise setting allowing the volume of this sound to be adjusted. The speed at which the damper pedal is pressed will also influence the prominence of the damper noise, with fast pedalling creating a very pronounced sound. * This Virtual Technician setting will affect acoustic piano sounds only. Adjusting the Damper Noise volume Settings Long press and drag the slider to increase or decrease the volume of the Damper Noise setting. * The Damper Noise volume can be adjusted within the range of Off, 1~10, with higher values resulting in a more pronounced noise. * Any changes made to the Damper Noise setting will remain until the power is turned off. * Preferred Damper Noise settings can be stored to the sound’s memory (in Sound mode) or a Favorite memory for convenient recall. Please refer to pages 83 and 102 for more information. Damper Noise slider 107 Virtual Technician 5 String Resonance Sound Mode String Resonance refers to a phenomenon that exists in acoustic pianos whereby the strings of held notes resonate ‘sympathetically’ with other notes of the same harmonic overtone series. The CA98/CA78 digital piano recreates this phenomenon, with the String Resonance setting allowing the volume of this resonance to be adjusted. * This Virtual Technician setting will affect acoustic piano sounds only. Demonstrating String Resonance To experience the string resonance phenomenon, gently hold down the ‘C’ key as shown in the illustration below, then play (strike and release quickly) any of the keys marked with a symbol. In addition to the sound of each note played, it should also be possible to hear the strings of the first ‘C’ key resonating ‘sympathetically’, thus demonstrating String Resonance. C F G B F G C E G C E G A C D E G C ho ld C A Adjusting the String Resonance volume Long press and drag the slider to increase or decrease the volume of the String Resonance setting. * The String Resonance volume can be adjusted within the range of Off, 1~10, with higher values resulting in a more pronounced resonance. * Any changes made to the String Resonance setting will remain until the power is turned off. Settings * Preferred String Resonance settings can be stored to the sound’s memory (in Sound mode) or a Favorite memory for convenient recall. Please refer to pages 83 and 102 for more information. 108 String Resonance slider 6 Undamped String Resonance Sound Mode The dampers of an acoustic piano span almost the full width of the keyboard. However, the topmost 18 keys (approximately 1.5 octaves) do not incorporate dampers, as the shorter strings for these treble notes decay quickly and therefore do not need to be dampened. Damped Strings A0 Undamped Strings G6 C8 As a result, the strings of these ‘undamped’ treble notes are free to vibrate in sympathetic resonance with those of lower keys – independently of the damper pedal position – helping to enrich the sound with additional harmonics and tonal colour. The CA98/CA78 digital piano recreates this phenomenon, with the Undamped String Resonance setting allowing the volume of this resonance sound to be adjusted. * This Virtual Technician setting will affect acoustic piano sounds only. Adjusting the Undamped String Resonance volume Long press and drag the slider to increase or decrease the volume of the Undamped String Resonance setting. * The Undamped String Resonance volume can be adjusted within the range of Off, 1~10, with higher values resulting in a more pronounced resonance. * Any changes made to the Undamped String Resonance setting will remain until the power is turned off. Undamped String Resonance slider Settings * Preferred Undamped String Resonance settings can be stored to the sound’s memory (in Sound mode) or a Favorite memory for convenient recall. Please refer to pages 83 and 102 for more information. 109 Virtual Technician 7 Cabinet Resonance Sound Mode While the fundamental sound of an acoustic piano is produced by vibrating strings, transmitting energy through a spruce soundboard, the cabinet of the instrument itself also contributes a variety of subtle tonal characteristics that enrich the playing and listening experience. The keybed, inner and outer rim, iron plate, and beams all play a role in disseminating sound energy, which in turn gives the piano a living, breathing quality. The CA98/CA78 digital piano recreates these natural acoustic characteristics, with the Cabinet Resonance setting allowing the volume of this resonance sound to be adjusted. * This Virtual Technician setting will affect acoustic piano sounds only. Adjusting the Cabinet Resonance volume Long press and drag the slider to increase or decrease the volume of the Cabinet Resonance setting. * The Cabinet Resonance volume can be adjusted within the range of 1~10, with higher values resulting in a more pronounced resonance. * Any changes made to the Cabinet Resonance setting will remain until the power is turned off. * Preferred Cabinet Resonance settings can be stored to the sound’s memory (in Sound mode) or a Favorite memory for convenient recall. Please refer to pages 83 and 102 for more information. Settings Cabinet Resonance slider 110 8 Key-off Effect Sound Mode When playing an acoustic piano – particularly in the bass region of the keyboard – if a key is played with force and released quickly, it is often possible to hear the faint sound of the damper touching the strings immediately before the vibrations are stopped. In addition, the speed at which keys are lifted will also affect the character of the sound. For example, when lifting the keys quickly (e.g. staccato playing) the ‘release’ portion of the sound will be noticeably shorter than when lifting the keys slowly (e.g. legato playing). The CA98/CA78 digital piano reproduces both characteristics, with the Key-off Effect setting allowing the volume of the key-off sound to be adjusted, and the key-off release speed detection to be turned on or off. * This Virtual Technician setting will affect acoustic piano and electric piano sounds. Adjusting the Key-off Effect volume Long press and drag the slider to increase or decrease the volume of the Key-off Effect setting. * The Key-off Effect volume can be adjusted within the range of Off, 1~10, with higher values resulting in a more pronounced effect. * When the Key-Off Effect setting is set to Off, the key-off release speed detection will also be disabled, and the speed at which keys are lifted will not affect the character of the sound. * Any changes made to the Key-off Effect setting will remain until the power is turned off. Key-off Effect slider Settings * Preferred Key-off Effect settings can be stored to the sound’s memory (in Sound mode) or a Favorite memory for convenient recall. Please refer to pages 83 and 102 for more information. 111 Virtual Technician 9 Fall-back Noise Pianist Mode Sound Mode When playing an acoustic piano, it is often possible to hear the faint sound of the keyboard action returning (i.e. ‘falling back’) to the neutral position after a key is released. The CA98/CA78 digital piano reproduces this sound, with the Fall-back Noise setting allowing the volume of this sound to be adjusted. While the default value is intended to simulate the natural volume level of the keys as they return to their neutral position, it may occasionally be desirable to adjust the volume of this sound. For example, reducing the volume when playing very soft pieces, where the fall-back noise may become too prominent. * This Virtual Technician setting will affect acoustic piano and harpsichord sounds. Adjusting the Fall-back Noise volume Long press and drag the slider to increase or decrease the volume of the Fall-back Noise setting. * The Fall-back Noise volume can be adjusted within the range of Off, 1~10, with higher values resulting in a more pronounced noise. * Any changes made to the Fall-back Noise setting will remain until the power is turned off. Settings * Preferred Fall-back Noise settings can be stored to the sound’s memory (in Sound mode) or a Favorite memory for convenient recall. Please refer to pages 83 and 102 for more information. 112 Fall-back Noise slider 10 Hammer Delay Pianist Mode Sound Mode When playing pianissimo passages using an acoustic piano, there may be a perceived delay between a key being pressed and the hammer striking the strings. If desired, the CA98/CA78 digital piano can recreate this delay, with the Hammer Delay setting allowing the delay length to be adjusted. While the default value of ‘Off’ is intended to replicate a well-regulated concert grand piano, with an immediate connection between the keyboard and hammers, some players may find it desirable to introduce a minor delay, in order to mimic different types of piano or instruments with a slightly worn keyboard action. * This Virtual Technician setting will affect acoustic piano sounds only. Adjusting the Hammer Delay value Long press and drag the slider to increase or decrease the value of the Hammer Delay setting. * The Hammer Delay value can be adjusted within the range of Off, 1~10, with higher values resulting in an increased delay. * Any changes made to the Hammer Delay setting will remain until the power is turned off. Hammer Delay slider Settings * Preferred Hammer Delay settings can be stored to the sound’s memory (in Sound mode) or a Favorite memory for convenient recall. Please refer to pages 83 and 102 for more information. 113 Virtual Technician 11 Topboard Simulation Sound Mode When playing an acoustic grand piano, the position of the instrument’s topboard (lid) affects both the volume and ‘openness’ of the tone produced. A fully open topboard allows sound waves to reflect off the polished lid surface and project into the room, while a closed lid has the opposite effect, resulting in a darker, more opaque tone. The CA98/CA78 digital piano simulates these characteristics, with four different topboard positions. * This Virtual Technician setting will affect acoustic piano sounds only. Topboard positions Topboard position Description Open 3 (default) Simulates the character of a fully open topboard, with maximum sound projection. Open 2 Simulates the character of a half open topboard, with reduced sound projection. Open 1 Simulates the character of a partially open topboard, with limited sound projection. Closed Simulates the character of a closed topboard, with minimum sound projection. Changing the Topboard position Swipe left/right or tap the arrow buttons to change the Topboard position. * The Topboard can be set to one of 4 positions. The tonal character of the sound will change depending on the selected Topboard position. * Any changes made to the Topboard setting will remain until the power is turned off. Settings * Preferred Topboard settings can be stored to the sound’s memory (in Sound mode) or a Favorite memory for convenient recall. Please refer to pages 83 and 102 for more information. 114 Topboard position 12 Decay Time Sound Mode When playing an acoustic grand piano, the length of the instrument influences the speed at which held notes decay, with longer grand pianos (i.e. longer strings) characterised by longer decay times. The CA98/CA78 digital piano simulates this characteristic, with the Decay Time setting allowing the length of decay while keys are pressed to be adjusted. * This Virtual Technician setting will affect all sounds. Adjusting the Decay Time value Long press and drag the slider to increase or decrease the value of the Decay Time setting. * The Decay Time value can be adjusted within the range of 1~10, with larger values resulting in increased decay times. * Any changes made to the Decay Time setting will remain until the power is turned off. * Preferred Decay Time settings can be stored to the sound’s memory (in Sound mode) or a Favorite memory for convenient recall. Please refer to pages 83 and 102 for more information. Decay Time slider 13 Minimum Touch Pianist Mode Sound Mode The Minimum Touch setting allows the minimum key velocity required to produce a sound to be adjusted. By default, this setting recreates the extremely fine touch sensitivity of a concert grand piano, allowing a very soft sound to be produced with the slightest of key touches. However, it may be desirable to reduce this sensitivity, when wishing to recreate the sensitivity of a small grand piano or an upright piano. * This Virtual Technician setting will affect acoustic piano and electric piano sounds. Adjusting the Minimum Touch value Long press and drag the slider to increase or decrease the value of the Minimum Touch setting. Settings * The Minimum Touch value can be adjusted within the range of 1~20, with larger values requiring greater key force in order to produce a sound. For example, a value of 10 will require the keyboard to be played with a velocity of 10 or above in order to produce a sound. * Any changes made to the Minimum Touch setting will remain until the power is turned off. * Preferred Minimum Touch settings can be stored to the sound’s memory (in Sound mode) or a Favorite memory for convenient recall. Please refer to pages 83 and 102 for more information.

It is also possible to create customised temperaments using the User Temperament function. * This Virtual Technician setting will affect all sounds. Temperament types Temperament type Description Equal Temperament (default) (Equal) This temperament is the most popular tuning method, and divides the scale into twelve equal semi-tones. This produces the same chordal intervals in all twelve keys, and has the advantage of limitless modulation of the key. However, the tonality of each key becomes less characteristic and no chord is in pure consonance. Pure Temperament (Pure Major/Pure Minor) This temperament, which eliminates dissonances for thirds and fifths, is still popular in choral music because of its perfect harmony. Any key modulation will result in dissonances. Pythagorean Temperament (Pythagorean) This temperament, which uses mathematical ratios to eliminate dissonance for fifths, is very limited for use with chords, but produces very characteristic melodic lines. Meantone Temperament (Meantone) This temperament, which uses a mean between a major and minor whole tone to eliminate dissonance for thirds, was devised to eliminate the lack of consonances experienced with certain fifths for the Mersenne pure temperament. It produces chords that are more beautiful than those played with equal temperament. Werckmeister Temperament (Werckmeister) Kirnberger Temperament (Kirnberger) These two temperaments are placed in between Meantone and Pythagorean. For music with few accidentals, this temperament produces the beautiful chords of the mean tone, but as accidentals increase, the temperament produces the characteristic melodies of the Pythagorean temperament. It is used primarily for classical music written in the Baroque era to revive the original characteristics. User Temperament (User) A custom temperament, created by raising or lowering the pitch of each note in the scale. * The key of the temperament and major/minor setting must be correctly matched. Changing the Temperament type Swipe left/right or tap the arrow buttons to change the Temperament type. * The Temperament type can be set to one of 8 types.

MIDI Terminals MIDI terminal Function MIDI IN Receiving note, program change, and other data. MIDI OUT Sending note, program change, and other data. MIDI channels MIDI 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 a Receiving instrument b Receiving instrument c Transmitting instrument a sends transmit channel and keyboard information to receiving instruments b/c. The information arrives at the receiving instruments b/c. Receiving instruments b/c 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, the receiving instruments b/c will not respond to any data that is sent. For both receiving and transmitting, channels 1-16 can be used. Recording/playing with a sequencer Settings When connected to a sequencer (or a computer running MIDI sequencing software), the CA98/CA78 digital piano can be used to record and playback multi-track songs, with separate sounds playing simultaneously on each channel.
