NV10S/NV5S MIDI Settings Manual

MIDI Settings

MIDI Overview

The term MIDI is an acronym for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, an international standard for connecting musical instruments, computers, and other devices to allow the exchange of performance data.

MIDI Terminals

MIDI terminal| Function
MIDI IN| Receiving notes, program changes, and other data.
MIDI OUT| Sending notes, program changes, and other data.

MIDI channels
MIDI uses channels to exchange data back and forth between MIDI devices. There are receive (MIDI IN) and transmit (MIDI OUT) channels. Most musical instruments or devices with MIDI functions are equipped with both MIDI IN and OUT jacks and are capable of transmitting and receiving data via MIDI. The receive channels are used to receive data from another MIDI device, and the transmit channels are used to transmit data to another MIDI device.
The illustration below shows three musical instruments, connected together using MIDI.

KAWAI NV10S

Transmitting instrument1 sends transmit channel and keyboard information to receiving instruments 2/3.
The information arrives at the receiving instruments 2/3.
Receiving instruments 2/3 will respond to MIDI data that is sent if their receive channel is the same as the transmit channel of the
transmitting instrument 1. If the channels do not match, the receiving instruments 2/3 will not respond to any data that is sent.
For both receiving and transmitting, channels 1-16 can be used.

Recording/playing with a sequencer
When connected to a sequencer (or a computer running MIDI sequencing software), the NV10S/NV5S hybrid piano can be used to record and playback multi-track songs, with separate sounds playing simultaneously on each channel.

MIDI Functions

The NV10S/NV5S hybrid piano supports the following MIDI functions:

Transmit/receive note information| Transmit/receive program change information
---|---
Transmit/receive note information to/from a MIDI-connected musical instrument or device.| Transmit/receive program change data to/from a MIDIconnected musical instrument or device.
Transmit/receive channel settings| Transmit/receive pedal data
Specify transmit/receive channels within the range of 1 to 16.| Transmit/receive sustain, sostenuto, and soft-pedal data to/from a MIDI- connected musical instrument or device.
Receive volume data| Multi-timbral mode setting
Receive MIDI volume data sent from a MIDI-connected musical instrument or device.| Receive multiple channel MIDI data from a MIDI-connected musical instrument or device.

Please refer to the “MIDI Implementation Chart” on page 15 for further information regarding the MIDI capabilities of the NV10S/NV5S hybrid piano.

Entering the MIDI Settings menu

Tap the button in the top right corner of the screen to open the Menu.
Tap MIDI to enter the MIDI category. KAWAI NV10S -fig n

MIDI Channel

The MIDI Channel setting allows the transmit/receive channel to be specified. The selected channel will function as both the transmit and receive channel (separate transmit/receive channels cannot be specified).

Changing the MIDI Channel

In the Play MIDI Channel area, tap the number buttons to select the transmit/receive MIDI channel.
The MIDI channel can be set from 1 to 16. KAWAI NV10S -fig

Omni mode

When the NV10S/NV5S hybrid piano is turned on, the instrument is automatically set to “Omni mode on”, allowing MIDI information to be received on all MIDI channels (1-16). When the MIDI Channel setting is used to specify a transmit/receive channel, the instrument will be set to “Omni mode off”.

Multi-timbral mode and Split/Dual modes

Using Split mode with Multi-timbral mode enabled| Using Dual-mode with Multi-timbral mode enabled
---|---

Notes played in the lower section of the keyboard will be transmitted on the channel that is 1 channel higher than the specified channel. For example, if the MIDI channel is set to 3, notes played in the lower section of the keyboard will be transmitted on channel 4.

|

Notes played will be transmitted on two channels: the specified channel and the channel that is 1 channel higher. For example, if the MIDI channel is set to 3, notes played on the keyboard will be transmitted on channels 3 and 4.

If the specified MIDI channel is 16, the lower section / layered part will be transmitted on channel 1.

Transmit Program Change Numbers

The Transmit Program Change Numbers setting determines whether the NV10S/NV5S hybrid piano will transmit program change information via MIDI when sounds are selected.

In the Send Program Change area, tap the [On/Off ] button to turn the function on/off. KAWAI NV10S -fig 4

Local Control

The Local Control setting determines whether the instrument will play an internal sound when the keys are pressed.
This setting may be useful when using the NV10S/NV5S hybrid piano to control an external MIDI device that is connected to the instrument’s amplifier/speakers.

Local Control setting

Local Control	Description
Off	The instrument will transmit information to an external MIDI device only.
On (default)	The instrument will play an internal sound and transmit

information to an external MIDI device.

Changing the Local Control setting
In the Local On/Off area, tap the [On/Off ] button to turn the function on/off. KAWAI NV10S -fig l

Multi-timbral Mode

The Multi-timbral Mode setting determines whether or not the NV10S/NV5S hybrid piano is able to receive MIDI information on more than one MIDI channel simultaneously. This allows the instrument to playback multi-track, multi- timbral performance data sent from an external MIDI device.

Multi-timbral Mode setting

Multi-timbral Mode	Selected sound
Off (default)	The sound shown in the left column is selected*.
On1	The sound shown in the left column is selected*.
On2	The sound shown in the right column is selected*.

“Program Change Number List” P. 7.
