MIDI connection to other sound modules

You can use the CDP2400USB to control external sound modules
via MIDI. This allows you to use the keyboard and pedals of the
digital piano to control the sound generators of other synthesizers
or sound modules not equipped with a keyboard. When you also
connect the audio signal of the external sound module to the
CDP2400USB, as described in chapter 6.1, all sounds played in
addition to the sounds of the CDP2400USB can be heard through
the internal loudspeakers.
The following illustration shows a set-up comprising the
CDP2400USB and an external sound module.

sequencing software
You can operate the CDP2400USB in combination with a
sequencing program such as "Cubase", "Logic" or the included
"energyXT2.5 Compact BEHRINGER Edition. " Sequencing software
gives you a wealth of powerful functions to record and process
MIDI data. For example, you can record several tracks to create
complex music pieces. Additional options are the production of
sheet music or playback of music pieces. What is more, you can
transfer the data of the built-in music sequencer to your computer
for permanent archiving.
