A SOUND MODULE

You may wish to set up your P-55 so you are able to hear its piano sounds instead of the
Piano Parts provided by your multi-timbral sound module.
You would connect the units as shown below.
Multi-timbral sound module
@ Roland
Cable coming from MIDI sequencer
If connections are made as shown above, playing back song data will cause the multi-
timbral sound source and the P-55 to sound simultaneously.
In order to make the P-55 play the piano part and the multi-timbral sound source play the
other parts, use the following procedure.
Mute or set the reception of MIDI data off for the Piano Part on the multi-timbral sound
module.
Set the P-55's MIDI reception channel so it matches the Piano Part's MIDI channel.
Press PART «¢ or PART ® to select the part, then press MIDICH «<4 or MID] CH » to
make the selection.
The P-55 contains three parts, so mute the part not playing.
Select the instrument to play on the Piano Part.
Press PART ~@ or PART ® to select the part, then press INSTRUMENT <« or
INSTRUMENT ® and select a tone.
Get the computer or sequencer to start playing the song data.
You now can hear the piano part played by the P-55, while the other parts will be played
by the multi-timbral sound module.
* Note that if the song data contains Program Change data, the tone will be changed.
You may need to edit the Program Change data that is sent by the sequencer in order
to be sure that it will cause the P-55 to play the sounds that you intend.
* If you connect the output jack of the multi-timbral sound module to the input jack of
the P-55, the sound of the two sound modules will be output together from the P-55.
