Connecting To A Computer - Yamaha CP 33 Owner's Manual

Connecting to a Computer and Other MIDI Devices
Controlling an External MIDI Keyboard
This connection lets you play the sounds of an external MIDI tone generator (synthesizer, tone generator
module, etc.) from the keyboard of the CP33. Use this connection to play the sounds of the connected
instrument in a layer with the CP33, or use the sophisticated Zone functions (page 25) to set up splits in the
sounds.
n Since MIDI data that can be transmitted or received varies depending on the type of MIDI device, check the
"MIDI Implementation Chart" to find out what MIDI data and commands your devices can transmit or receive.
The CP33's MIDI Implementation Chart appears on pages 55, 56.
Splitting the Sound between the CP33 and an External Tone Generator by MIDI
Channel
Using the connection example shown above, you can play both instruments and have them separately
sound different parts. To use this feature, you must set the CP33's output channel and the external tone
generator's receive channel to the same channel number. Set the MIDI Transmit Channel via the "F7.1
MIDI Transmit Channel Selection" parameter in the function menu after turning on the power. While
the Master mode is turned on, set the MIDI Transmit Channel via the "MIDI Transmit Channel"
parameter in the Master Edit menu.

Connecting to a Computer

Connecting this instrument to a computer via MIDI opens up a whole world of musical possibilities—such as
using sequencer software to record and play back compositions with the CP33 sounds.
In order to use the instrument with a computer via a USB connection, you will need to install an
appropriate USB-MIDI driver. You can download the proper driver from our website:

*This information applies to version 2.1.6 (Windows) and version 1.0.4 (Mac OS X). For the latest
information, check the web site above.
Using a USB Cable
MIDI messages can be transferred between the sequencer software and CP33 using the USB cable. However,
audio data cannot be transmitted or received via USB on the CP33.
When the USB connector is connected, the MIDI connectors cannot be used.
