OUTLINE OF A MUSIC RECORDER (OR SEQUENCER)  
A music recorder records your performance in a similar way to a tape recorder.  
This instrument’s music recorder allows you to record and save up to 5 different  
ways.  
You may want to record your entire performance at one time (especially if you  
are using Auto Accompaniment to provide the Orchestration), or build up a  
complex arrangement with several different parts playing together, like an en-  
sembles score.  
This Instruments Music Recorder has 5 different tracks. This means that you  
can record 5 different parts. However you don’t have to use all 5 tracks.  
For some uses you may only need to use one or two tracks. This instrument’s  
Music Recorder allows you to change a tracks musical passage unlike a tape  
recorder.  
This piano’s 5 track music recorder (sequencer), is designed to be very simple to  
use.  
It will record all note events and the accompaniment patterns exactly as they are  
performed.  
All the recorded tracks can playback separately or together as a complete song.  
You may also save your recorded information to disk, to play back at a later date  
or to create your own sound library.  
Please see the Disk section of this manual for more information.  
RECORD FEATURES  
Record Melody Only  
Any of the Melody tracks (2 thorough 5) will record one Sound Channel  
(Upper, Layer and Lower) note events, as they are performed.  
These are assigned by pressing one of the four MELODY (Mel) Buttons.  
If one of the MELODY buttons is selected, the recording will begin as  
soon as you play on the piano.  
Note: Only one melody track and only one Sound Channel Voice (Upper,  
Layer or Lower) can be recorded at a time.  
Also Note: If recording one Melody track ONLY with the Accompani-  
ment mode engaged, the auto accompaniment section of the piano will  
not be recorded, even though you can hear it being played.

MIDI & VIDEO OUT JACKS  
MIDI stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface. This is a world wide standard communica-  
tion interface that enables electronic musical instruments and computers (of all brands) to  
communicate with each other so that instructions and other data can pass between them. This  
exchange of information makes it possible to create a system of MIDI instruments and devices  
that offers far greater versatility and control than is available with isolated instruments. Whether  
you interface with computers, sequencers, expanders or other pianos your Suzuki piano’s  
technical capabilities, and your musical horizons will be greatly enhanced.

the piano.  
1.  
2.  
MIDI In: This terminal receives MIDI data from an external MIDI device.  
MIDI Out: This terminal transmits data from this instrument to other  
MIDI devices. The transmitted data includes the note and touch velocity  
produced while playing on the piano, as well as voice changes, wheel  
operation, and recorded playback for the melody tracks. Demo songs  
and auto accompaniment are not transmitted.  
VIDEO OUTPUT - The Video Output Jack is located to the left of the MIDI  
terminals on bottom left of the piano.  
3.

MIDI CHANNELS - The MIDI system in this unit has 16 channels numbered from  
1-16. Each of the channels is responsible for a voice. When the  
instrument receives from an external device, the active channel is  
determined by the control message. The transmission channels on this  
piano are fixed as follows:  
Channel 1: Master voice  
Channel 2: Layer voice  
Channel 3: Split voice  
Channel 4: Bass in manual bass chord mode  
Channel 7: Chord in manual bass chord mode  
Channel 10: Percussion sound  
Please see the MIDI Implementation Chart for more detail.  
BASIC MIDI SETUPS  
Output to an external sound generator - MIDI pianos transmit note  
and velocity (touch sensitivity) information via the MIDI Out connector.  
Connect the MIDI Out terminal of the piano and the MIDI IN terminal of  
an external device, piano, synthesizer, or sound module, and the  
external device should respond to your playing.  
By connecting this Suzuki piano to another piano in this way you can  
essentially play two instruments at the same time or play on your piano  
to the sound of another MIDI devise to produce thick, layered multi-  
instrument sounds.  
Output from an external MIDI device - Connect the MIDI In terminal of  
the piano and the MIDI Out terminal of an external device. Data gener-  
ated on another device are passed through your pianos sound delivery  
system.  
Connect with an computer - Although the Suzuki piano offers a built  
in sequencer, the music recorder is a real-time five track sequencer, the  
same type of musical information transfer that is described above can be  
used for more sophisticated MIDI sequence recording using an external  
sequencer or computer. These devices could be used to record MIDI  
data received from this piano. You can transmit your performance to a  
computer to utilized advanced recording, composing and editing available  
from software on the computer. MIDI music stored on the computer can  
be played back through your instrument.

MIDI  
MIDI LOCAL CONTROL MODE - Local control refers to the fact that normally,  
this Suzuki piano controls the internal tone generator. This is the  
normal play mode. Local control can be turned off, so that the piano  
does not play the internal voices, however, the MIDI information is still  
transmitted via the MIDI Out connector when notes are played on the  
piano. At the same time, the internal tone generator can respond to  
MIDI data received via the MIDI In connector.  
MIDI INPUT CHANNEL SELECTION - You may select an individual MIDI channel  
to receive MIDI data on. The power up default setting is the OMNI mode  
which receives MIDI data on all channels.  
MIDI SPLIT INPUT LOWER CHANNEL MODE - This MIDI input channel mode  
is used to select which MIDI input channel you want to receive for the  
lower split piano MIDI data. The previous MIDI input mode will receive the  
upper split piano data.  
MIDI OUTPUT CHANNEL SELECTION - You may select an individual MIDI  
channel to transmit MIDI data on. The power up default setting to  
transmit MIDI data is channel 1.  
MIDI SLIT OUTPUT LOWER CHANNEL MODE - This MIDI output channel mode  
is used to select which MIDI output channel that you want to transmit on  
for the lower split piano data. This MIDI data can be sent separately on  
a discrete MIDI channel. The previous MIDI input mode will transmit the  
upper split piano data. The default setting for this mode transmits on  
channel two.

QUESTIONS AND/OR PROBLEMS  
Where is the serial number on my piano?  
The serial number of the piano should be directly underneath the piano on the right hand side  
near the floppy disk drive.
