E N Introduction G L I What is the CD20/30 S Please note: on switching off some program settings are lost Every time the CD20/30 is switched off, its settings return to the initial state (called the default mode). The sounds assigned to the instrument parts and the Style selections revert to the factory set configurations. The Songs, Prog.
Power supply, connections, demos Power supply The CD20/30 can either be powered by batteries, or by the mains supply (using the optional mains adaptor). The two methods of supplying power are alternatives. When the mains adaptor plug is inserted it automatically overrides the batteries. Inserting the batteries If connected, unplug the mains adaptor from the socket on the instrument. Use 1.5V “C” size (R14) batteries. Alkaline batteries last longer than normal ones and should be preferred. 1.
E N The keyboard and instrument parts G L I The keyboard S H The CD20/30 has a 61 note (from C2 to C7) dynamic keyboard; this means that the harder you press the keys, the louder the sound. The instrument parts The CD20/30 can play up to six instrument parts, two on the keyboard (Upper e Lower) and four automatic accompaniments (Drums, Bass, Acc1, Acc2). As well as this, using Midi, it is possible to make the CD20/30 play sixteen instrument parts (see the chapter on “Midi”).
2. The split point has now been changed to the note just played. Assigning Upper and Lower sounds The voices of the CD20/30 are called “Sounds”. The Sound list is printed on the control panel to the right of the display. It is possible to assign a particular Sound to the Upper and Lower instrument parts. Assigning a Sound to the Upper part 1. If the Sound name is not flashing, press the [SOUNDS] button so that it does. 2. Use the keypad to key in the number which corresponds with the Sound you want.

Changing how the bass part plays (Bass Follow) Normally, the accompanying Bass part follows exactly what is played on the keyboard. This happens because the function Bass Follow is default set to ON. If you want the Bass part to follow only the Style program ignoring the “foreign” notes played on the keyboard, set the Bass Follow function to OFF. 1. Press [MIDI]. The instrument is now in the MIDI mode. 2. Run forwards through the “pages” using [PAGE>], until you reach “EXTRA FUNCTION—Bass Follow”: 3.

Songs The CD20/30 has a built in multitrack sequencer on which you can record a live Song performance or data fed to the CD20/30 at the MIDI IN port. The CD20/30 can store up to four Songs. The Songs must have been recorded or (on the CD30) loaded from disk as “.SNG” or “.ALL” files. There are two types of Song: • SongStyle, which use automatic accompaniment. • RealSong, which do not use automatic accompaniment so the tracks can be used freely.

MIDI What is Midi? Midi is a system for communicating between electronic instruments. With Midi it is possible to: - use the CD20/30 keyboard to control another musical instrument; - use another device (keyboard, sequencer, computer) to control the Sounds and Styles on the CD20/30; - connect the CD20/30 to a sequencer or a computer (this covers both the previous cases), for programming the Songs or Styles externally.
E corresponding Midi channels are mapped: N GM 01 2 Bass 3 Acc 1 4 Lower 5 Upper 6 Acc 2 7 GM 07 8 GM 08 How to assign Midi channels on the CD20/30 9 GM 09 1. Enter the MIDI mode by pressing [MIDI]. The first section is “Channel selection”. 2. Press [MIDI] to get to the part programming page. Each page contains two parts. The first page contains the Lower and Upper parts, the second Drum and Bass, the third Acc1 and Acc2. The Common Channel is on the fourth page. 3.
How to change the Style 1. Using the Common Channel, send the CD20/30 a Program Change message with the number which corresponds to the Style required. For example, to select Style “07/Fusion 1”, send Program Change number 7. 2. The Style is now set. The Sounds of the instrument parts used for the accompaniment change automatically. If the [AUTOSET] led is on then the Upper and Lower part Sounds and the tempo will change too.
E Local ON/OFF necessary to use the master to start it. N The Midi Clock controls synchronization between two electronic musical instruments. “MIDI: Clock Int/Ext = Intern” (internal) means that the instrument is synchronized to its own internal tempo and is able to transmit this and subsequent changes to a slave.
Bend Pitch Bend Man Manual Controls (= Style control using Program Change on the Common Channel). G.Mus Generalmusic Controls (= Style and tempo controls using Program Change on the Common Channel). Use the [PAGE<] and [PAGE>] keys to move from one page to the next. 4. Use [TEMPO-DATA] to turn the selected filter ON or OFF. ON means the message cannot be communicated while OFF allows it through. 5. Press both [ESC] keys together to exit from the MIDI mode.
E N Disks G L The contents of a disk Data is memorized on a disk in the form of files. A disk can contain four different types of file. A file name is composed of a maximum of 8 characters, a separation point and a final identification extension of 3 letters (ex: SONG001.SNG). The four different types of file are listed in the following table: ————.ALL The whole contents of the CD30 memory: 4 Songs, 8 Prog. Styles, Samples. ————.SCD Samples. ————.STY A group of 8 Prog.
