Creating Songs With An External Midi Sequencer - Kawai A120 Owner's Manual

Creating Songs With An External MIDI Sequencer (only X130)
When using an external MIDI sequencer (Ex: KAWAI DRP-10) and
X130's MIDI functions, you can create a song with 16 parts.
Here's how to start creating songs on your keyboard in the two MIDI
modes using an external sequencer.

Connect the X130 to a MIDI sequencer.
Set LOCAL CONTROL to "off". (See page 14.)
Turn on the "Echo Thru" or "Thru" function in the MIDI sequencer.
Change the MIDI Transmit channel ("tch") to 10. (See page 14.)
This will allow you to record a drum part first.
Select sound No. 100 using the SELECTOR buttons.
Start the sequencer recording, and play the keys of your X130
to record a drum part.
Stop the sequencer.
Now, you're ready to create other parts. Change the X130's MIDI
Transmit channel from 10 to 1.
(Be sure to press the DEMO button to leave the SYSTEM mode.)
Use the SELECTOR buttons to select the sound of your choice.
. Start the sequencer and record the next part. You should be able
to hear the drums you recorded earlier as you play this new part.
. To record other parts, use the same steps to change the MIDI
Transmit channel to any channel from 2 through 16 (except
channel 10 which you used for drums). Then, select the sound
you will use for the new part and record it as before. —
Of course, if you change the sound you are using in the middle
of the recording, the sound change will also be recorded. Therefore,
it is not necessary to assign three solos - a sax solo, a guitar solo,
and an organ solo to three separate channels. You can record
them all on one channel by simply changing the sound as you
record.
12. If your sequencer allows you to "channelize" or change the MIDI
channel for any track after you've recorded it, you may be able
to save time in recording.
After recording the drums on channel 10, set the MIDI Transmit
channel to 01. Record the next track on channel 1. After recording,
change the channel on this track to channel 2. This frees channel
1 to record another track which you can then assign to channel
3. Keep transmitting data on channel | and then assigning the
data to a different channel. This will help you to avoid having
to change the MIDI transmit channel before recording each new
track.
