1. QUICK START
1.1 SETTING UP THE PIANO
The first thing you’ll need to do before playing the piano is to set up the
instrument.
ASSEMBLING THE STAND
First, you need to assemble the stand unit. Assemble the stand following
the instructions at the beginning of this manual.
SUPPLYING AC POWER
The CE200 piano is equipped with stereo speakers and an amplifier. You
do not need any other equipment to play your piano. You can enjoy the
CE200 piano wherever AC power is available. Simply connect the power
cable that comes with the CE200 piano to an AC outlet.
Connect the AC power cable to the piano’s power jack and the
other end of the cable to the AC outlet on the wall.
1.2 POWER SWITCH
Press this button to turn on the power.
Pressing it again will turn off the power.
Pressing this button while holding down the REC and PLAY/STOP buttons
will erase all the songs currently stored in the Recorder. (See page 26.)
1.3 VOLUME SLIDER
This slider controls the master volume level of the piano’s sound.
Move this slider to the right to increase the volume and move to
the left to decrease the volume.
This slider also controls the headphone’s volume and the LINE output
level of the piano’s sound.
1.4 HEADPHONES
1.5 DEMO SONGS
For private performances you may want to use the headphones. The
speakers will be turned off automatically when the headphones are
plugged in, and the CE200 piano will only be heard through the
headphones. The CE200 piano has two headphones jacks.
The CE200 has 18 built-in sound demo songs. Each of the demo songs
presents a musical piece to introduce the different preset sounds.

Press the DEMO button and the demo song for the Piano 1 category
will start. After the Piano 1 demo songs are finished playing, the demo
songs for another sound category will be selected at random.
If you would like to listen to the demos for a particular category, just
press the desired SOUND SELECT button while the demo is playing. When
you press the button, the demo will play the demo songs for the newly
selected category. Then the demo songs for another category will be
selected at random. See page 56 for the list of sound demo songs.
1.6 PLAYING THE PIANO
Turning on the power.
You will find the POWER SWITCH at the right end of the front panel.
Press this button to turn on the power. Pressing it again will turn off the
power.
Adjust the volume level.
The VOLUME SLIDER controls the volume level of the speakers and the
headphones. Use this slider to set the volume to a comfortable listening
level.
Now try playing the keyboard.
You will hear the CE200’s main piano sound.
The CE200 piano responds just like a real acoustic piano when you play
it. It produces a louder sound when you play hard and a softer sound
when you play soft. The volume level changes in relation to how fast the
keys are pressed. This system is called “touch sensitivity” on an
electronic musical instrument. The initial touch sensitivity setting has
been adjusted to the standard of an acoustic piano. You can however,
select a different type of touch sensitivity on the CE200 piano if you are
not comfortable with the standard setting. For more detail, please read
“5.1 Selecting the Touch Sensitivity (TOUCH Button)” on page 28.
1.7 PEDALS
The CE200 piano has three pedals—just like a grand piano. They are
Sustain, Soft and Sostenuto.
The sustain pedal is capable of responding to half pedaling, which provides
even finer control of the dampering effect.

1.8 PLAYING WITH MORE SOUNDS
You have already heard the CE200’s main piano sound. The CE200 has a
total of 20 sounds, not only different types of piano sounds but different
instruments as well.
The different instrument sounds built into CE200 piano are called “preset
sounds”.
All of the preset sounds have been created through advanced digital
sampling technology achieving as natural and realistic sound as possible.
Let’s try some of the preset sounds.
SELECTING ANOTHER PRESET SOUND
Press the SOUND SELECT button under the name of the
instrument you would like to listen to. When the button is pressed,
the LED indicator will be turned on to indicate that this sound is selected.
The SOUND SELECT buttons are assigned with two or three preset sounds
to select. To select the other sounds, press the button repeatedly.
When a SOUND SELECT button is pressed, the variation number is briefly
shown in the display. Pressing the same SOUND SELECT button again
will select the next variation sound assigned to the SOUND SELECT
button.

These buttons can also be used to select the various sounds. You can
select all of the preset sounds assigned to the eight SOUND SELECT
buttons.
However, Sounds cannot be selected by using the VALUE buttons when
you are in DUAL or SPLIT mode.
2.2 DUAL
Another feature of the CE200 piano is the ability to layer two preset sounds
together to create a more complex sound. For example, piano layered
with strings, electric piano with choir sound, and so on.
To layer two sounds, select the first sound and then, while holding
down that SOUND SELECT button, select the second sound by
pressing another SOUND SELECT button. The LED indicators for
each will be turned on to indicate the two sounds you have chosen. The
display briefly shows the combination of the selected sound variation
numbers.
Sound variation
number 1 and 3
are layered.
If you want to layer two sounds assigned to the same SOUND SELECT
button, while pressing the desired SOUND SELECT button use the VALUE
buttons to select your desired layered sound.
ABOUT POLYPHONY
The CE200 piano is capable of playing up to 96 notes simultaneously (96-
note polyphony). When playing in dual mode, or when playing the stereo
piano sound, the polyphony will be reduced by half since the piano has to
produce two sounds for each note.

2.3 SPLIT
SELECTING SPLIT SOUNDS
The split function divides the keyboard into two sections—upper and
lower—and lets you play each part with a different sound.
First press the desired SOUND SELECT button to select the upper
sound. Then, while holding down the SPLIT button, press the
desired SOUND SELECT button to select the lower sound. The
LED indicator for the upper sound will be turned on and the LED for the
lower sound will start flashing. The display shows the combination of
the selected sound variation numbers during the SPLIT button is pressed.
The number on the left is for lower sound and the number on the right is
for upper sound.
Variation 2 for
lower and 1 for
upper.
CHANGING THE SPLIT POINT
The default split point is set between B2 and C3. This point can be moved
to anywhere on the keyboard.
Press the desired key on the keyboard while holding down the
SPLIT button.
The key you pressed becomes the lowermost note for the upper section.
2.4 FOUR HANDS MODE
It is possible to divide the keyboard into left and right sections at the
default split point, and to play both sections in the same key range using
the four hands mode. The key range is lowered by two octaves for the
right section, and raised by two octaves for the left section. When four
hands mode is active, the sustain pedal (right pedal) acts as the sustain
pedal for the right section, and the soft pedal (left pedal) acts as the sustain
pedal for the left section. When four hands mode is active the CE200
functions as two pianos, so you can enjoy duet performances or use one
CE200 piano for two students or a teacher and a student.
ENTERING FOUR HANDS MODE
Press the sustain pedal and the soft pedal while holding down the SPLIT
button. The SPLIT button LED indicator will start blinking and the piano
is now in Four Hands Mode.

To exit Four Hands Mode, press the SPLIT button again. The LED indicator
will be turned off.
SELECTING SOUNDS IN FOUR HANDS MODE
The method for selecting sounds is the same as in Split Mode. After you
are in Four Hands Mode simply use the SOUND buttons to change the
sound for the upper section. To change the sound for the lower section,
press and hold the SPLIT button and then use the SOUND buttons.
CHANGING SPLIT POINT
The method for changing the split point is the same as in Split Mode.
After you are in Four Hands Mode press and hold the SPLIT button and
press any key on the keyboard. The key you pressed becomes the
lowermost note for the upper section. The default split point is set between
E3 and F3.
OCTAVE SHIFT FOR THE LOWER SECTION
When in Four Hands Mode, you can use the Octave Shift function to change
the octave of the lower section. Please see page 35 for more information
on using Octave Shift.
2.5 DUAL/SPLIT BALANCE SLIDER
You can adjust the volume balance between the two sounds in Dual or
Split mode. Use the Dual/Split Balance slider to adjust the balance.
Move the slider to the right to increase the volume of the rightmost sound
(in dual mode) or upper sound (in split mode) and decrease the volume
of the leftmost sound (in dual mode) or lower sound (in split mode). The
balance changes in the opposite way when the slider is moved to the left.
2.6 EFFECTS/REVERB
You might have noticed that when you select some of the preset sounds,
the LED indicator for the EFFECTS or the REVERB is turned on. The
reason for this is some of the preset sounds are set up with an effect on as
their initial setting.
Adding an effect to the sound enhances tonal quality and improves
acoustical realism. The CE200 piano is provided with two separate groups
of effects. The first is reverb and the second contains chorus, delay,
tremolo and rotary speaker.

REVERB
Reverb adds reverberation to the sound, simulating the acoustic
environment of a recital room, stage, or concert hall. There are five types
of reverb available. They are Room 1&2, Stage, and Hall 1&2. (listed in
order of reverberation amount).
CHORUS
Chorus is an effect that simulates the rich character of a vocal choir or
string ensemble, by layering a slightly detuned version of the sound over
the original to enrich it.
DELAY
Delay is an effect that adds echoes to the sound.
TREMOLO
This is a vibrato type effect.
ROTARY
This effect simulates the sound of the Rotary Speaker cabinet commonly
used with electronic organs. Rotary 1 is normal rotary and Rotary 2 is
with distortion effect.
The soft pedal is used to change the speed of the rotor between SLOW
and FAST.

a piano’s sound. The voicing function lets you adjust the CE200 piano’s
tone character by choosing one of three types of voicings, Mellow,
Dynamic, Bright.
NORMAL
(When the LED indicator is turned off)
Produces the normal tone character of an acoustic piano throughout the
entire dynamic range. This is the default voicing.
MELLOW
Produces a softer mellow tone character throughout the entire dynamic
range.
DYNAMIC
The tone character will change dramatically from mellow to bright
depending on how soft or loud you play.
BRIGHT
Produces a brighter tone character throughout the entire dynamic range.
Press the VOICING button. The LED indicator will be turned on to indicate
that voicing is in use. Press and hold the VOICING button and the currently

The voicing setting defaults to "Normal" each time the power is turned
off. You can use the user memory function (page 40 ), to save your selected
voicing. This way your current voicing selection will remain even after
the power is turned off.
2.8 METRONOME
Rhythm is one of the most important elements when learning music. It is
important to practice playing the piano at the correct tempo and with a
steady rhythm. The CE200 piano’s metronome is a tool that helps you to
achieve this by providing a steady beat for you play along with.
STARTING THE METRONOME
Press the TEMPO button. You will see the LED indicator turn on and
hear the metronome begin counting with a steady beat. The display shows
the tempo in beats per minute.
To change the tempo, use the VALUE buttons to increase or
decrease the tempo within the range of 10 - 400 beats per minute.
(20 - 800 BPM with eighth note rhythms).
To stop the metronome, press the TEMPO button again.
CHANGING THE TIME SIGNATURE
You probably noticed that there are two types of clicks and the louder
one comes every fourth beat. The metronome is capable of giving you a
down beat to indicate the beginning of the measure. You are now hearing
a 4-beat or 4/4 time signature.
You can select a different time signature, if you want to. There are seven
different time signatures available on the CE200 piano—1/4, 2/4, 3/4, 4/4,
5/4, 3/8 and 6/8.
To change the time signature, use the BEAT button.
Press the BEAT button. You will see the LED indicator turn on and
hear the metronome begin counting. The display shows the time signature.
Use the VALUE buttons to select your desired time signature. You
will see the time signature currently selected in the display.
RHYTHM METRONOME
You can also select from 30 additional rhythm styles instead of a
simple metronome click.
Keep pressing the VALUE buttons to select the desired rhythm
style number. See page 54 for the rhythm style list.

3. RECORDER
The CE200 piano’s recorder records your playing much like a tape
recorder, and it is just as easy to use. The CE200 piano records a song as
digital data instead of audio data and stores the song inside the instrument.
Because the song is stored as digital information you can modify the song
when you play it back. You can, for example, adjust the tempo without
changing the pitch or use a different effect setting from one you have
recorded.
Once you understand the recorder, you will find it to be a useful tool for
both practicing and playing the piano.
BASICS OF THE RECORDER
Let’s take a brief look at the recorders features.
TWO-TRACK THREE-SONG RECORDER
The CE200 piano’s recorder is a 2-track 3-song recorder. This means
you can record up to three different songs, store them in memory, and
play them back as you like.
Each song has two separate tracks called “Parts” that can be recorded
separately. This lets you record for example, the left hand part first on
one track, then record the right hand part next on the other track while
listening to the first track.
When you record or play back a song, you can select which part (track)
of which song you are going to record or play back. When you are
recording, selecting the same part again to record will erase any previous
recordings on that part. Because of this it’s important to remember; when
recording both parts separately, after recording the first part be sure to
select the second part to record, otherwise you will end up recording
over the first part of the song.
RECORDED INFORMATION
The CE200 piano records the following:
Note information
Sound selection
Pedal movements
Balance settings Set the dual/split balance as desired before you
start recording. Balance settings made before
you start recording will be used by the recorder.
Any changes made during the recording will be
ignored by the recorder.
Transpose. . . . . . When you record in a different key using the
transpose function, the CE200 piano will record
the actual transposed notes you hear, not the
notes as you play with the keyboard.

RECORDING CAPACITY
The total recording capacity is about 15,000 notes. Pressing any buttons
or pedals is counted as one note.
When the recorder reaches it’s maximum capacity, the CE200 piano will
stop recording at that point.
RECORDER AND METRONOME
When playing back a song with the metronome turned on, the metronome
always restarts with the down beat.
3.1 RECORDING (REC BUTTON)
The REC button is used for recording.
Press the REC button when you are ready to record. The LED
indicator will start flashing telling you that the piano is ready to record.
Now play some music on the piano. The recorder will automatically

Press the PLAY/STOP button when you are finished recording. The
piano will stop recording and save your song to memory.
Saving to memory may take a few moments and during this time the piano
will not perform any other operations.
You can start recording by pressing the PLAY/STOP button instead of
pressing a key. In this way, you can insert a blank bar at the beginning of
the song.
If you make a mistake, you can record your piece again. Just repeat the
same procedure. The second recording will completely erase the first
one.
RECORDING ANOTHER SONG
The CE200 piano is capable of recording and storing up to three different
songs. Let’s try recording a second song.
If you followed the procedure in the previous section you have already
recorded Song 1, so now let’s record Song 2.

Use the VALUE buttons to raise or lower the pitch.
3. DAMPER RESONANCE
When the sustain pedal (page 13) is depressed on an acoustic piano, all
the dampers are lifted up allowing the strings to vibrate freely. When you
play note or chord on the piano with the sustain pedal depressed, not
only will the strings for the notes you played vibrate but other strings will
vibrate in sympathetic resonance. The damper resonance function
simulates the phenomenon.
Press the VOICING button while holding down the TOUCH and
the TRANSPOSE buttons. You can adjust the volume of the damper
resonance.

sounds: Concert Grand, Studio Grand, Mellow Grand
4. STRING RESONANCE
The string resonance function simulates the phenomenon of string
resonance on an acoustic piano.
Press the PIANO button while holding down the TOUCH and the
TRANSPOSE buttons. You can adjust the volume of the string resonance.
The display alternatively shows “Str” (= String Resonance) and a number
that represents the volume.
Use the VALUE buttons to set the volume within a range of "Off, 1 to 10
and 5 is the default setting.
String resonance will not be active when “Off” is selected.
ABOUT STRING RESONANCE
Even when the sustain pedal is not depressed on an acoustic piano, the
strings for any notes you are holding will be un-damped and will resonate
freely in sympathy with the strings of other notes that you play if they are
part of the same harmonic series. In addition, adjacent notes will also be
resonated. The string resonance function simulates this phenomenon. This
is called "string resonance."
For example, when you play the keys shown in next page while holding
down the C key, the string of the C key resonates and produces a sound.
(Quietly press and hold down the C key, and then quickly tap each of the
keys shown below. You can hear the string resonate.)

When you play a key while holding down an adjacent key, an acoustic
piano produces a sound as a result of string resonance. The CE200
simulates this phenomenon.
The string resonance volume defaults to "5" each time the power is turned
off.
String resonance is not active when the sustain pedal is depressed.
The string resonance function is effective only for the acoustic piano
sounds.
5.TEMPERAMENT
The CE200 piano offers not only equal temperament (the modern
standard) but also immediate access to temperaments popular during the
Renaissance and Baroque periods. It should be interesting and educational
to try some of the different temperaments, although the equal temperament
is dominant today.
Press the E.PIANO button while holding down the TOUCH and the
TRANSPOSE buttons.
The display alternatively shows “tMP” (= Temperament) and the symbol
that indicates which type of temperament is in use.
Use the VALUE buttons to change the type of temperament.
BRIEF EXPLANATION OF TEMPERAMENTS
EQUAL TEMPERAMENT (PIANO ONLY)
This is the default temperament. If a piano sound is selected the tuning is
stretched like an acoustic piano (EQUAL TEMPERAMENT). If any other
type of sound is selected the tuning will be EQUAL (FLAT). An explantion
of EQUAL TEMPERAMENT and EQUAL TEMPERAMENT (FLAT) is
provided later in this section.
ꢀ NOTE
If a piano sound is used in a layer with any other sound then both sounds
will use the EQUAL TEMPERAMENT (Stretched) tuning.

MERSENNE PURE TEMPERAMENT (MAJOR)
MERSENNE PURE TEMPERAMENT (MINOR)
This temperament, which eliminates dissonance’s for thirds and fifths is
still popular for choral music because of its perfect harmony.
You need to be aware what key you are playing in with this temperament.
Any key modulation will result in dissonance’s. When you play music in a
particular key, you need to match the key of the temperament as well.
When playing in a major key select Pure (Major) and when playing in a
minor key select Pure (minor).
PYTHAGOREAN TEMPERAMENT
This temperament, which uses mathematical ratios to eliminate
dissonance for fifths, is very limited for use with chords, but it produces
very characteristic melodic lines.
MEANTONE TEMPERAMENT
This temperament, which uses a mean between a major and minor whole
tone to eliminate dissonance for thirds, was devised to eliminate the lack
of consonance’s experienced with certain fifths for the Mersenne pure
temperament. It produces chords that are more beautiful than those with
the equal temperament.
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.
EQUAL TEMPERAMENT (FLAT)
This is “unstretched” equal temperament that divides the scale into twelve
equal semitones. This produces the same chordal intervals in all twelve
keys, and has the advantage of limitless modulation of the key. However
the tonality of each key becomes less characteristic and no chord is in
pure consonance.
EQUAL TEMPERAMENT
This is the most popular piano temperament. The hearing ability of a
human is uneven and is not as accurate with high frequency and low
frequency as it is with the middle range. This temperament’s tuning is
stretched to compensate for this so the sound will be heard naturally to

the ears. This “Stretched” equal temperament is a practical variation of
the “unstretched” equal temperament which was invented on a
mathematical basis.
ꢀ NOTE
After you have selected the desired temperament, please read the following
section on selecting a key signature for the temperament before
continuing.
KEY SIGNATURE OF TEMPERAMENT
Limitless modulation of the key became available only after the invention
of Equal temperament. When we use a temperament other than Equal
temperament, we must carefully choose the key signature to play in.
For example, if the song you are going to play is written in D major, choose
“D” as the temperament key.
Key in D
To select the key signature of the temperament, simply press one
of the 88 piano keys. The note name of the key you pressed will be
shown in the display and it will be chosen as the key of the
temperament.
Key in A#
ꢀ NOTE
Changing the key of the temperament will only change the “balance” of
the tuning, the pitch of the keyboard remains unchanged. Use the TUNING
or TRANSPOSE functions to change the pitch of the whole keyboard.

6. USING MIDI
In this chapter you will learn how you can create music by connecting
the CE200 piano to an external MIDI device.
The CE200 piano is compatible with MIDI devices from Kawai and other
manufacturers. It can also be used with sequencing software on a personal
computer.
UNDERSTANDING MIDI
WHAT IS MIDI?
The letters MIDI stand for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, an
international standard for connecting MIDI equipped synthesizers, drum
machines, and other electronic instruments so that they can exchange
data. Personal computers can also be equipped for MIDI communication.
Electronic instruments equipped with MIDI can transmit and receive
performance data such as, notes, what sound to play, pedal information,
volume, etc. This data can be recorded with a device like a sequencer or
a computer.
MIDI JACKS
The CE200 is equipped with two MIDI jacks for exchanging data: MIDI IN
and MIDI OUT. These jacks are used to connect MIDI devices to one
another using a special cable.
Each terminal has a different function.
IN
OUT
: For receiving MIDI data from another MIDI instrument.
: For sending MIDI data to another MIDI instrument.
Depending on how they are connected, instruments are grouped as those
which receive data (producing sound when data is received from a
connected instrument), those which send data (to instruments to which
they are connected), and those which both send and receive data.
MIDI CHANNEL
MIDI uses what are known as “channels” as a means of routing MIDI
data intended to play a specified instrument or specified part. By
channelizing MIDI data, you can control multiple parts in multiple
instruments with a single cable.
There are two aspects of channels, one for receiving and one for sending.
The MIDI channel of the receiving instrument must be matched with the
MIDI channel of the transmitting instrument. The idea is just like television
or radio. If you have a desired station to watch or listen to, you need to
42
KAWAI DIGITAL PIANO CE200
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
tune in to the right channel. When a transmitting instrument uses channel
1, the receiving instrument must be set to use channel 1 also. The CE200
piano lets you set the same channel number for both Transmit and receive.
There are 16 MIDI channels available to choose from on the CE200 piano.
In addition to channel-to-channel connection, it is possible to receive
multiple channels. With MIDI instruments equipped with multi-timbral
capabilities, you can receive multiple parts on multiple channels each
played with a different sound simultaneously. For example, a MIDI
instrument might receive the melody on channel 1, the chords on 2, the
bass on 3, and assign a different instrument to each channel. Piano for
channel 1, strings for 2, electric bass for 3. In this way, the CE200 piano
can play up to 16 different parts each with a different sound.
Here’s a diagram to summarize the MIDI connections we have discussed.
Instrument #1, which is transmitting the piano part on channel 1 (Ch 1),
the string part on Ch 2 and the bass part on Ch 3, is connected to Instrument
#2. Instrument #3 is connected to MIDI Thru on instrument #2. The receive
channel is set to 1 for Instrument #2 and multi-timbral mode is turned off.
On instrument #3 multi-timbral mode is on.

Instrument #2 recognizes only the piano part received from Instrument
#1. Instrument #3 receives all the parts on the three channels being passed
through Instrument #2 because Instrument #3’s multi-timbral mode
capability is activated.
We have provided this brief look at MIDI to help you understand the CE200
piano’s MIDI capabilities.
While it is beyond the scope of this manual to explain the entire world of
MIDI we do encourage you to visit your local music store or contact a
music publisher for a listing of available books on MIDI applications to
learn more.
Let’s explore some MIDI applications using an external MIDI device
connected to the CE200 piano.
6.1 USING THE CE200 PIANO AS CONTROLLER
First let’s play sounds from an external MIDI device using the CE200
piano’s keyboard.
MIDI CONNECTION
First, connect the CE200 piano’s MIDI OUT jack to your external
MIDI device’s MIDI IN jack with a MIDI cable.

Next you must match the MIDI channel. The transmitting channel of the
CE200 piano and receiving channel of your external MIDI device must be
the same.
CHANGING TRANSMITTING CHANNEL
To change the transmit channel on the CE200 piano, press the
ELECTRIC PIANO button while holding down the TOUCH and the
TRANSPOSE buttons. The display alternatively shows “Chn” (=
Channel) and the channel number. The default channel is 1. Use the
VALUE buttons to change the channel number.
44
KAWAI DIGITAL PIANO CE200

AUDIO CONNECTION
If your external MIDI device is not equipped with an amplifier or speakers,
you can connect it directly to the CA piano using the LINE IN jacks or to
an external sound system.
Connect the LINE IN jacks of the CA piano and the LINE OUT
(audio output) jacks of your external MIDI device with a pair of
audio cables (see the illustration above). Now you will be able to
hear the CE200 piano’s sound and your external MIDI device's sound
together through the CE200’s speakers. Use the volume control on your
external MIDI device to balance it's volume with the CE200 piano.
Now You’re ready to play.
Play the CE200 piano’s keyboard. You should hear both instruments as
you play. What is happening is that the CE200 piano is transmitting MIDI
information, what note you played, how hard (loud) you played it, and so
on to your external MIDI device. The external MIDI device reproduces
sound based on this information using its own sound module.
PROGRAM CHANGE
Press a SOUND SELECT button on the CE200. You will hear the sound
on your external MIDI device also changes. Pressing a SOUND SELECT
button lets the CE200 piano transmit a “program change” number. A
program change is the type of MIDI command that tells the receiving
instrument what sound or instrument to play your notes with.
Actual program change information is just a number, from 1 to 128, not an
instrument name. You select the desired instrument with a specific number.
Not all MIDI instruments assign the same sound to the same program change
number. MIDI instruments that conform to the General MIDI (GM) standard
however “DO” assign the same sound to the same program change number.
For example program change #1 will always be an acoustic piano sound on
a “GM” compatible synth, and program change #33 will always be an acoustic
bass sound. Because of this, when connecting two “GM” instruments
together, selecting the right sound is not a problem. The CE200 piano is
not a General MIDI instrument and its internal sounds do not conform to
the General MIDI standard. This means when you select a sound on the
CE200 piano such as Classic E. Piano you will probably hear a different
sound playing from your external MIDI device. What sound you hear will
depend on the sound assignments on your external MIDI device. Below is
a chart of the Program Change number/sound assignment mapping for the
first twelve CE200 piano sounds and the first twelve “GM” sounds. Please
see page 54 for more detail. The CE200 piano can have different mappings

In order for your external MIDI device to play the sound you want, you
need to know what program change number to transmit to it. Please read
your external MIDI device’s manual for a list of its program change number/
sound assignments. Then read “Sending Program Change Numbers” on
page 54 for the procedure to send a desired program change number from
the CE200 piano.
That is how to layer the CE200 piano’s sound with a desired sound from
an external MIDI device.
LOCAL CONTROL
You may want to play and only hear your external MIDI device’s sound,
without the CE200 piano’s sound. You can turn off the CE200 piano’s
sound using a function called “local control”.
Local control determines whether or not the CE200 piano will produce a
sound when you play it’s own keyboard. When local control is on, the
CE200 piano produces sound as you play the keys. When off, the piano
will not produce a sound when you play the keys. The CE200 piano’s
keyboard will however, continue to transmit MIDI information to an
external MIDI device.
Press the CHURCH ORGAN button while holding down the TOUCH
and the TRANSPOSE buttons, and the piano will show “on” or “off” in
the display. The initial value is on. Toggle on and off using the VALUE
buttons.
Play the keyboard and you will hear only the sound from your external
MIDI device.
46

To change the sound from the CE200 piano, select the desired number as
explained in the Reference section and send it from the CE200 piano to
your external MIDI device.
It may be possible to change preset sounds directly on your external MIDI
device. In this case you may want to set the CE200 piano so that it does
not transmit program changes. Read “10. Transmit Program Change On/
Off” on page 37 to learn how to prevent the CE200 piano from transmitting
program changes.
6.2 USING THE CE200 PIANO AS A MULTI-TIMBRAL SOUND MODULE
The CE200 piano can also be used as a 16-part multi-timbral sound module.
Your CE200 piano is capable of playing back for example, a four part
song with two piano parts, a string part, and a choir part all sent from an
external MIDI sequencer or a personal computer. You can also play the
CE200 piano along with a recorded song.
To set the CE200 piano to receive MIDI as a multi-timbral instrument it
must be connected with an external MIDI device or personal computer
with appropriate software.
Connect the CE200 piano’s MIDI IN jack and your external MIDI device’s
MIDI OUT jack with a MIDI cable. Please note that the MIDI information
is now being transmitted the opposite of our earlier setup. The CE200
piano is now receiving MIDI data from your external MIDI device.
MIDI CHANNEL
The next step is to match your MIDI channels. When receiving MIDI data
on the CE200 piano with multi-timbral mode ON, it is not necessary to
specify a MIDI channel to use because the CE200 piano can receive data
on multiple MIDI channels at once. You do have to be careful to match
MIDI channels between each part. A MIDI channel can only have one
sound assigned to it at a time. You must set the MIDI channel for each
part on both the transmitting (external MIDI device) and the receiving
(CE200 piano) MIDI devices. For example, channel 1 for piano, ch 2 for
strings, ch 3 for choir, etc.

MULTI-TIMBRAL MODE
Multi-timbral On is a setup for 16-channel multi-timbral operation. You
can mute the channels separately. Each channel recognizes the program
change numbers as listed on page 54. There are two kinds of Multi-timbral
On. On1 and On2 have different program change numbers assigned.
Multi-timbral Off turns off the multi-timbral capability. If you would
like to have the CE200 piano receive MIDI data on a single channel and
ignore all data on the other channels set multi-timbral to “Off”. Remember,
if you want the CE200 piano to receive MIDI information from an external
device, in this setup you must match the receiving channel with the
transmitting channel. Program change numbers are recognized as listed
on page 54.
To demonstrate the multi-timbral capability of the CE200 piano, let’s
choose Multi-timbral On.
Press the BASS / GUITAR button while holding down the TOUCH
and the TRANSPOSE buttons.
Use the VALUE buttons to select Multi-timbral On. The display
will read “On1” or “On2”.
Let’s see how this works using an external MIDI device. If you have a
keyboard connected to the CE200 piano try playing some notes. You
should hear the CE200 piano as you play. If you have a MIDI song player
or personal computer with MIDI software connected try sending some
MIDI song data with one or more different musical parts to the CE200.
Again you should hear the CE200 piano playing all the parts. In multi-
timbral mode, if you want to hear a particular sound for each part you
transmit to the CE200 you must send the correct Program/sound number
from the transmitting MIDI device to the CE200 piano. Please see page
54 for a list of the Program/sound number assignments for the CE200
piano.
If you own a “GM” sound module you’ll probably want to use it as your
multi-timbral module instead of the CE200 piano. If you have a hardware
sequencer or personal computer but do not own another sound module,
you can enjoy sixteen-part multi-timbral capability with only the CE200
piano.

NOTES ON USB
When MIDI and USB are connected simultaneously, USB will be
prioritized.
When connecting a digital piano to a computer by using a USB cable, first
connect the cable and then turn on the power of the digital piano.
When a digital piano is connected to a computer by using a USB cable, it
may take some time before communications start.
When a digital piano and a computer are connected via a hub, and the
operation is not stable, connect the digital piano directly to the USB port
of the computer.

power of the piano is turned on or off, or if the USB cable is pulled out or
inserted during:
: Driver installation
: Computer power-up
: MIDI application operations
: Communication with the computer
: Standby in power-saving mode
*USB may not operate properly depending on the settings of your
computer. Read the computer instruction manual thoroughly before use
and ensure that appropriate settings are made.

LINE OUT JACKS
LINE IN JACKS
These jacks provide stereo output of the piano’s sound to amplifiers, tape
recorders or similar equipment.
The audio signal coming through the LINE IN jacks is also routed to these
jacks. The piano’s sound is mixed with the LINE IN signals.
The CE200 piano’s VOLUME slider can control the output level of its own
sound while it does not control the LINE IN signal.
These jacks are used to connect a pair of stereo outputs from other audio
equipment or electronic instruments to the piano’s speakers.
The audio signal coming through these jacks bypasses the piano’s volume
control. To adjust the volume level, use the output control of the external
device.
HEADPHONE JACKS
There are two jacks for headphones provided at the left end on the bottom
of the piano.
You can hear the piano’s sound as well as any audio signal that is coming
through the LINE IN.
