appendix of this manual.
Coda: The final part of a musical song. For example, when a
singer finishes off a song with a few bars which are neither
the verse nor the chorus, but makes it clear that the song is
coming to an end. The singer is then said to be adding a
“coda”.
Damper: Also known as “sustain”, corresponds with a nor-
mal acoustic piano sustain pedal on the CD20/30 (and nor-
mally in other MIDI instruments too).
Dynamic: This is the intensity with which a note is played; as
on a normal acoustic piano, the stronger you press down the
keys, the more intense the sound will be.
Display. A small liquid crystal screen on the control panel
which displays the CD20/30 messages for the musician. The
display is used to edit MIDI and DISK and to create Prog.Styles
and Songs.
Drumkit: A kit of different percussion instruments. The CD20/

Ball on the sound of the Upper part. Modulation is also trans-

Bend is also transmitted (and received) via MIDI.
