CONCERT MAGIC The great German composer Johann Sebastian Bach once said, “Playing the keyboard is simple. Just strike right keys at the right time.” Many people wish it were that simple. The reality is very different of course. However, there is a way to make playing the keyboard very simple. You don’t even have to strike right keys thanks to Concert Magic. With Concert Magic, absolutely anyone can sit at the CP piano and make real music… even if you’ve never taken a piano lesson in your life.
3.PERFORMING A SONG Now you’re ready to play yourself. Tap out the rhythm of the selected song on any one of the 88 black or white keys on your piano keyboard. As you tap harder, the notes will get louder; as you tap softer, the notes will get quieter. As you tap faster, the notes speed up; as you tap slower, they will slow down correspondingly, just like regular piano playing. Isn’t it fun? You can sound like you’ve been playing for years just by pressing one key with one finger.
Melody Play These songs are also quite easy to play, especially if they are familiar to you. To perform them, tap out the rhythm of the melody on any one of the keys on your piano keyboard. Singing along as you tap the rhythm can be helpful.

BRIEF EXPLANATION OF TEMPERAMENTS EQUAL TEMPERAMENT (PIANO ONLY) This is the default temperament.
Werckmeister Kirnberger Equal(Flat) Equal WERCKMEISTER III TEMPERAMENT, KIRNBERGER III TEMPERAMENT These two temperaments are placed in between Meantone and Pythagorean. For music with few accidentals, this temperament produces the beautiful chords of the mean tone, but as accidentals increase, the temperament produces the characteristic melodies of the Pythagorean temperament. It is used primarily for classical music written in the Baroque era to revive the original characteristics.

MIDI The term MIDI is an acronym for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, an international standard for connecting synthesizers, sequencers (digital recorders) and other electronic instruments so that they can exchange performance data. The CP67 is equipped with two MIDI jacks for exchanging data: MIDI IN and MIDI OUT. Each uses a special cable with a DIN connector. MIDI IN : For receiving note, program change and other data. MIDI OUT : For sending note, program change and other data.
(2) Connection to an external sequencer When connected as shown in the illustration, you can record songs played on the CP67 with a sequencer, and use the CP67’s tones controlled by the CP67’s MULTI-TIMBRAL MODE function (which is ON at all times) to create a multi-layer MIDI recording.
