Press the HARPSICHORD button while holding down the TOUCH and TRANSPOSE buttons. The LED display will read "OFF", which means Multi-timbral Off is currently selected. Use the VALUE button to select Multi-timbral ON. After choosing the multi-timbral setting, press any SOUND SELECT button to exit from the function mode. TUTORIAL Using MIDI Multi-timbre On Multi-timbre off TUTORIAL: USING MIDI 29 Let's see how this works using an external MIDI device. If you have a keyboard connected to the CN piano try playing some notes. You should hear the CN piano as you play. If you have a MIDI song player or personal computer with MIDI software connected try sending some MIDI song data with one or more different musical parts to the CN. Again you should hear the CN piano playing all the parts. In multi-timbral mode, if you want to hear a particular sound for each part you transmit to the CN you must send the correct Program/sound number from the transmitting MIDI device to the CN piano. The CN piano will start playing back the selected song. You can adjust the speed or tempo of the song by using the VALUE buttons while holding down the TEMPO button. TUTORIAL: PLAYING WITH CONCERT MAGIC 31 If you want to listen to a different song, repeat the same procedure to select a song. When you are finished listening to the song, press the PLAY/STOP button again to stop. PERFORMING A SONG Now you're ready to play yourself. Tap out the rhythm of the selected song on any one of the 88 black or white keys on your piano keyboard. As you tap harder, the notes will get louder; as you tap softer, the notes will get quieter. As you tap faster, the notes speed up; as you tap slower, they will slow down correspondingly, just like regular piano playing. You can sound like you've been playing for years just by pressing one key with one finger. Concert Magic is a perfect method for small children to learn music, especially to develop a sense of rhythm. For older people who may think it is too late to learn the keyboard, Concert Magic is a good first step for them to begin with. With Concert Magic, your CN piano can be enjoyed by anyone in the family, even those who have never touched a musical instrument in their life. CONCERT MAGIC SONG ARRANGEMENT TYPES Playing with Concert Magic After playing for a while with Concert Magic you may think that it's too easy and there is very little to learn. While it is true that some of the songs are very easy to play, even for beginners, there are also some which will challenge you and require some practice to play beautifully.
